ISTD student assessment 2017
‘The Dead Wood Archive’
Celebrating the book The Art of Fact – A Historical Antholog of Literary
Journalism by Kevin Kerrane and Ben Pagoda. The book is a collection of
creative non-fiction stories. This artpiece was designed to bring alive
the distinctly contrastin aspect of the stories within the book, by using
colourful perspex plates and expressive typefaces. Each plate displays
an excerpt from an individual story and offers the owner the opportunity
to determine their own journey through the book.
This artpiece was commissioned by the International Typography Society
of Designers (ISTD) and gained my membership to the ISTD.
