OUGD401: Research/Publications I like

Behance

The publication is bundled in a hand sewn velum pouch - opaque in finishing, it reflects intentions in communicating a  tory with transparency. Timidly labeled in a simplistic typographic delivery, it displays the reserved character of a introspective personality. Each booklet borrows the title of an archived journal entry speaking on a relating topic, whether that topic is about design, travel or life. Together the publication takes form of a mish mashed collage of self instilled wisdom and advice, life lessons learned, timelines, goal and bucket lists, future thinking, reflections and tweets. The overall objective is to present myself as a whole, truthfully, unfiltered and authentically. Not just revealing the creative aspects of my life, but my travel experiences and outlook on life as well as these significantly influence and reflect back into my creative principles. This is something I would like to do about the decade of the 1960s. Reflecting on women, fashion, education, role models etc.

Edison

This is a publication about Thomas Edison and the biggest technology debate that shaped the power industry, the War of the Currents, where Thomas and Nikola Tesla became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC). The editorial artefact has a contemporary and experimental layout where the information arrangement doesn't follow the usual rules and takes a rebellious approach.The artefact was printed on different paper sizes and assembled by saddle-stitched binding.
