Graphic Design - Composing a Complex Narrative

Composing a simple book by assembling the images and spreads I have collected from previous practices and made into one place. Setting up an eight page book consisting of 8 spreads (3 double page spreads plus a front and back cover) takes me some time to figure out indeed.

My strategy is putting similar techniques together, such as sketched banana and calligraphy outlined dog. Bold color contrast from Legos and blocks is on the covers to draw audience attention. Lastly, binding this pages is really something new and interesting to me. I purchased the bookbinding kit to “sew” the pages together. Even though the pages are digital prints, I still get the feeling of “flipping” book pages.
