For this project, we were asked to research a contemporary designer of our choice and create a multi-page book design based on their work. I chose Bruce Mau for his work at the Seattle Public Library - I have a soft spot for oversized typography (just looked up his website just now, I see they’ve done an amazing re-design of the site). I latched onto his “Incomplete Manifesto” of 43 beliefs, ideas, and strategies to improve your design. The book is an illustration of those 43 statements using his work and my own photography.
