"Mexican Divertimento" - book design and illustrations


This book was created in 2009 as a course project at the North-West Institute of Printing Arts (Now - The School of Printing and Mediatechnologies). The book illustrates the poem by a Nobel Prize laureate Josheph Brodsky "To Evgeni", which is a part of a 10-poem cycle "Mexican Divertimento", written and published in 1978. Initially my layout was made  in Russian, however, later I changed the cover text and the text on some pages (as seen on the photos) to its English translation by Alan Myers (See its publication in The New York Review ). The book was created exclusively as an educational project, and never was intended to be published.
