Objective:
My book’s goal was to typographically present sourced content in a conceptually cohesive manner. The design system encompassed cover, title page, TOC, chapter openers, information design, and index. I was responsible for all photography and information design.
Audience:
My audience is men and women, college to retirement age, middle- to upper-income level, all ethnicities, culturally aware. This book’s are interested in scientifically objective content and photos on the 1980 Mount Saint Helens eruption.
Outcome:
I used a bold newswire feel and contrasting color palette to communicate the tension surrounding the volcano’s eruption. A natural page tone evokes the outdoors, while the bold reversed bars and interstitial pages of large type speak to tension and release.
