The Meaning of Black Music By Donald Byrd (A Redesigned Approach)
The project featured below is a remake and visual interpretation of an article written by Donald Byrd. The body copy is a direct transfer as well as the pull quotes. The visual treatment is meant to act as both a compliment and enhancement for the text. The images were made in Photoshop and transferred into InDesign.
"Reflection"
Text originate from Virgil Ablohs Exhibition "Figure of Speech", speech at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and Sylvia Harris's "Searching For a Black Aesthetic in American Graphic Design" (2022).
This book is meant to create a conversation between the two authors surrounding the idea, identity and journey of a african american design from the perspective of one of the most renowned black designers. All of the text was set and organized in a manner to create a language to support the "conversation" between these two speakers. The imagery and various moments of distortion are meant to be supplementary and place emphasis on moments of tension, comparison, reflection or conclusion.
Soccer Unbound (Tutorial Booklet)
For this project, I was tasked to make a booklet that could teach a reader how to play a game from a selection the professors had the students, including me, participate in. The game described below is based on soccer but with an added twist. All of the images except the soccer ball are vectors made in InDesign. All type is also set in InDesign.
