In approaching this work as designer and illustrator, I wanted to make sure each artist’s work was respected and given equal weight in the catalogue. I developed a flexible grid system that could work with the varying dimensions of images. I chose to give special attention to the visual elements that would tie the catalogue together as the viewer flipped through the book, such as the graphite lines, a dynamic hand lettered typographical treatment for each name, and blocks of color. With those elements repeated from spread to spread the artwork was then able to be treated as a surprise engaging the viewer in visual delight as they turned the page.  

This 52-page catalogue profiled the work of six Texas artists who depict their “worlds” in graphite. Through drawing these artists depict interior thought, memory, and imagined states of being. In designing, my goal was to ensure each artist’s work was respected and given equal weight throughout by developing a flexible grid system.
