About the Project
The purpose of this assignment was to design a book cover and spine that uses typographic expressionism as its main point of communication. With my chosen title being ‘Blindness’, using an eye chart was an obvious thumbnail sketch, and yet one of my least favourites to start with only because I didn't think I would be able to pull it off! Vida (Survey of Design II instructor) pushed me to explore this idea further, and I'm obviously very glad that I did! I'm very proud of my execution with this design and it’s given me a lot more confidence in my conceptual ideas and design ability moving forward.
