Expressive Typographic Book Design

While abroad in Lacoste, France, I was tasked with a two-part project. The first part was to create a set of three bookmarks with expressive type, and the second part was to create an at least 40-page typographic book. The subject of our book had to be France-related, so I chose the graphic artist, A.M. Cassandre. 

​

The goal of the project was to experiment with how type can be manipulated into an image, and how text and image can become one. To do so, I pulled from various famous Cassandre pieces as inspiration/a foundation for the expressive type. I chose to design my pages with references from Cassandre's art style.

This was the first time I had experimented with different types of book-binding techniques. The content of the book is pulled from several articles and websites about A.M. Cassandre and his impact on the art world.
