The American Slave Narrative [comps]

Julia Lee : Oxford University Press

The research for the layouts was intensive, but really fun. Several new books on the market are filled with loads of eye candy and they helped spur along my ideas. I especially enjoyed flipping through the Handy Book of Artistic Printing. For this academic title I tried to emulate traditional Victorian style, but with a twist. This project is currently under review.

Singing to the Plants

Stephan V. Beyer : University of New Mexico Press

The author provided the artwork for the cover and requested a clean layout so I kept the typography quiet and let the image speak.
