Cats by T.S. Eliot

description

This project was a re-design of the popular poems from T.S. Eliot's Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats using typography to reflect the content and time in which it was written (1939) without the accompanying illustrations. The desired result was to create a children’s book for adults. Due to the challenging language of the poetry, it would be most likely that a parent would read it to their child and not vice versa. Therefore, it made sense to create a more sophisticated publication for the enjoyment of the adult reader. The focus was on using expressive typography for the titles of each poem and using photographs of feline fur as a subtle background texture to add depth as well as an air of elegance.
