College Project

Chapbook - Hiroshige

Project: Create and write a well designed chapbook based off an artist of interest. Use the different chapters to portray their live and how their art progressed over time. Use principals of Gestalt for alignments, unity, continuation, variety, etc.

Objective: To create a visually appealing design and well written story for the reader to easily follow and informative

Overall Visual: Informative, Attention to detail, and organization of information

My Design: For my project I am always amazed by woodblock artist so for this project I picked the well know Utagawa Hiroshige. I wanted to make a very modern design for the images to pop out a lot more as it is the main focus. I picked a variety of images throughout his life and gathered most of my text referencing Pictures of the Floating World by Sarah E. Thompson and Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo by Melanie Trede.
