CHALLENGE:

Redesign an existing book from the Art or Photography section at UH Library.
SOLUTION:
This is a redesign of a photography book: Airborne Camera. The book highlights the history of photographing from air and outer space. Its content however, was hidden under a dull cover and text-heavy layout and as a result did not garner much readership (evidenced by the library’s record).
This new design aims to elevate the reading experience by adding not only colour but, to translate the content into the form of the book itself. The typefaces, layout and materials place an emphasis on the idea of being light/airborne. It takes the audience into a journey higher into the atmosphere. Small ideas such as the use of tracing paper and the subtle shift in page numbers as you progress is also injected into the design.
