MY FAVORITE THINGS
Artist Book 2011
"Artists' books are works of art realized in the form of a book. They are often published in small editions, though sometimes they are produced as one-of-a-kind objects referred to as 'uniques'." - Wikipedia
I based the book on my idea that 'graphic design does not have to make sense.' Not always. Anyone can make a book looking a certain way just because it's pretty. And I did.
My artist book is a self-gratifying, purely graphic and photographic bound book featuring my own favorite things. Or more accurately - the favorite things that would make the best-looking spreads. Most of the photos are my own, many taken during experiences I will remember forever, like the jungle canopy walk in Malaysia, and seeing my favorite band live for the first time.
