Spring 2022
Brief: Create a 12-page book on a topic of your choice, and bind it with a technique that matches the topic.
I made a book on the history of cowboys because my grandfather watches many western movies. I thought the symbols of cowboys would be fun to illustrate. I chose to do knockout illustrations for the book so they wouldn't overpower the text. Western typography is another important element of what we know about cowboys, and I found it to be a nice touch to add more character to the book. I chose to stitch bind the book to mimic the stitches on a cowboy boot.
