William Culpepper

Category:

Book Design

Description/Include:

Design an 80 page book

Front cover, spine, back cover

End sheets

Title page

Credit/Index page

Table of contents

Several photos and/or illustrations

Several items of information design:
charts, graphs, maps, etc.

Solution: I wanted to incorporate visuals of artisan made glass along with the feeling of transparency that glass creates. During the class, I learned the book making process from scratch, thanks to the help of an acquaintance that restores antique books and bindings. It was the experience of a lifetime.
