Sketches...
...for a book cover design brief for Miranda July's 'No one belongs here more than you.'
The cover will illustrate one of the short stories which describes how 3 pensioners learn how to swim in a bedroom.

Typographic Exercise...
...with excerpts from Miranda July's 'No one belongs here more than you.', which I can highly recommend, as well as her film 'Me and You and Everyone We Know'.






P.S.: May I add, that, unlike previously assumed (by me)
1/ 'permanent' marker, is indeed permanent
2/ not everything magically comes off with nail polish remover
and that therefore, this might be my last post before being killed by my 'house mate' who will, with the help of these pictures, inspect all those areas ignorantly abused for the sake of art.

AIGA
American Institute for Graphic Arts is located in an exciting building full of beautiful books in the Flatiron district. Two examples below, which I like mostly because of their unusual binding method. The first one, whose title/publisher I unfortunately don't know, uses old fashioned book screws but remains well legible due to a clever page layout and cover make. The second one is the year book of California's Institute of the Arts (CalArts). The design of the book is based on a smart concept to represent the school's diversity. The designers wanted to show the wealth of faculties while keeping one common language throughout the book. Every faculty produced one folio and at the end all of them were stitched together. The book has no 'proper' spine, which allows the reader to see how it is made and again shows how each folio contributes to one whole book.
