object of our desires

heres some pages from my last project for the book class i took this term. it was based on an essay we wrote for design history about an artifact that we owned. i chose my michael kors sunglasses. we were then meant support and extend the text through a full book. my concept was to make the book look kind of like a high-end magazine using big images (used some of the sunglasses/gum pictures), small type and lots of white space. there were five sections that dealt with different aspects of the sunglasses like consumer culture and sun protection etc. i printed on thicker cardstock paper, sewed the binding and attached a hardcover. i'm really happy with how it turned out. j on the cover is perfect.

i love it!

i picked this up a couple weeks ago for some photo inspiration. not only do i really like almost all of the editorial shots, but i was also really inspired by the content layouts. it's all so clean and really well organized. the photo arrangements, small text and creative use of white space gives the magazine a really original look and makes it feel more like a book. good thing, since it took a pretty big chunk out of the magazine budget.

i also found some more good photographers who did the editorials. aaand now need to get the new spring issue as soon as possible.
