locating place

The book part of this project was a lesson in interacting with local businesses and book binding, while the animation portion reinforced our knowledge of after effects and/or flash. My book, East Side Story, displayed the Kevin Lynch text we were given in addition to a case study and essay focusing on the gentrification occurring in Austin's east side. I compiled information from the case study to create info-graphics to aid the readers understanding.

 

tasa conference book

Before embarking on the East Side book, this was the largest amount of text/content we had encountered for a project. It acted as the intermediate phase between the simple type specimens and the arduous east side books. The task was to create a program for people at an art conference. 

instructional design

For this project, I envisioned this instructional piece to be apart of a series of flipbooks, sold as novelties or coffee table books. I chose a flipbook so users could have something tangible, with written instructions and visuals, but also be able to see the process of folding and unfolding. I believed this would be both fun and instructive for my college student audience.

type specimen

Mrs. Eaves reminded me of a type face you might see in a fairy tale, so that notion influenced the color and design of my book. I made a point to use every facet of the Mrs. Eaves font family to ensure an accurate representation of the type face in this type specimen book.
