Rainbow in the Mist…this is the title of the book for which I was assigned to redesign a dust jacket. It proved quite a challenge, for it oozed every bit of cheesiness a book could possibly ooze: rainbows, romance, mystery, clairvoyance, you name it. However, it interestingly took place in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I designed the book cover based on the cool, misty, flow of the setting using cool colors, an airy, flowing layout and an ultra light sans serif typeface. This is the full spread of the book cover, so try to imagine it wrapped around a book. Picture soon to come.

A Visual Compendium Exploring the Word “Head”

Here beith my spreads for my latest project. I designed a book that revolves around one word (“Head”) and I chose the copy/text I wanted to include. The right half of this spread is the front cover, and the left half is the back cover. Do peruse my blog to continue the viewing experience. Enjoy, friends!

So my much younger cousin likes to collect rocks. My beau came up with the ingenious…or should I say igneous…idea to pretend to be an Indiana Jones-like rock explorer. He shall be known as Dr. Frederick Quartz Obsidian (Dr. Q for short), and send my darling cousin unique rock samples from all around the world! His story begins on this personalized stationery.

Behold! A T-Shirt back design I made for Athens-based musician, Connor Pledger. His bluesy-style is really clean and bold amongst other happy descriptions, and I wanted to emulate that in the design. He’ll be selling these at his shows. Here’s a link to his website: connorpledger.com

Churl: a rude, boorish person

Example: Nearly all his wives might agree that King Henry the 8th was a most perilous churl. He couldn’t seem to ever keep his head on his shoulders…or anyone else’s for that matter.

This little pastry of a project for my typography class is inspired by Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette, and all the quotes come directly from her movie. I hand-made a book using these spreads. Now allow me to paint a picture for you of my process: for 14 hours straight, I was hunched under my desk hand-feeding my way-too-thick-to-print paper to my beast of a printer, stroking and praying fervently over little Epson (aka big-ass printer) to not choke on his food. Turns out, he eventually learned to like robin’s egg blue paper.
