THE ART OF FREEDOM

I designed a book 7 chapter book that was dedicated to the Christo Javacheff and his wife Jeanne-Claude. They are brilliant and create amazing temporary art installations all around the world. I’m been obsessed with their work for quite some time and I was able to do a semester-long project based on their incredible art.

When diving into designing this book my priority was to create a layout that reflected their work but wasn’t to over-designed where it took the attention off their work. I went will a bold color palette with colors from their projects to make it fun and vibrant which I thought brought their personality into play. For these pictures I wanted to add some effects to a few of them. I created this plastic-looking layer to go on top of some photos and it reminded me of a few of their project where they tarp big things, etc. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. I thought the design went well the Christo and Jeanne’s style and personalities
