Great Writers Series: Albert Camus

•

Project Overview:

This booklet is a short 8 page biography on the life and works of the french writer, Albert Camus. Inspired by Camus's fun loving personality contrasting with his dark themed works, I put unexpected elements that shows who the author was, rather than who we perceived him as because of his works. After finding out a fun fact that Albert Camus would've pursued the career of a soccer player if it weren't for his health, I added a fun element of type being disturbed throughout the pages. The book's cover and the inside content are contrasting to show that Albert Camus is not the dark author that he was thought to be.
