Examples of several books I have made recently. The trip books have screen printed covers, the contents are typewriter text and in some, photocopies of photos from travels throughout the United States. I like to bring elements of zine aesthetic into my book work and I always enjoy placing emphasis on the handmade, despite my knowledge of Photoshop and other computer programs for making book layout and design. In a lot of these projects the process of building and planning a book by hand is in itself a big part of the work. As such, these books are unique records of the experience of the artist, as well as the process of recording that experience - and the transformation that occurs when personal moments, memories and knowledge are preserved on the page and then revealed to others.
Intro/Extro

For our core studio class we developed a packaged set of books. The two books we cut to "fit" together within the folder package.
The books depicted works of graphic design over the decades, and used the framing of introverted and extroverted work as reference to the socioeconomic status at the time of creation.
Their seemed to be a link between civil unrest and times of change with more "extroverted" types of design. While safer, and more conservative "introverted" designs were created in times of content.
