Book Designs

Preghiamo (Italian for "We Pray") was arranged by me to be a coffee-table book themed around travel. The focus is the beauty of religious architecture around the world. The idea came about from a deep apreciation for the devotion all cultures uniquely show for their beliefs.

The layout is simple, having one spread per location: verso pages contain the place's name and a custom graphic of its location in the country, while recto pages have an image of the place's most prominent view. Furthermore, it was bound in the Coptic style.

For my novel project in Printed books, I chose to challenge myself by laying out James Joyce's Ulysses, which I understood to be one of the most varried layouts in contemporary literature. It took a full night for the initial pagination, half a day for the final spot-edits, and a full-day for the physical section of project assembly. The binding method used here was prefect-bound.

Sadly, This copy was ruined in an attempt to even-out the binding's top edge, so a second edition will be assembled using this file.
