Graphic Design III - Locating Place: Book

This project was a different approach to East Austin but in the form of a book instead of an interactive piece. Branching off from the first project, I chose to create the book on the graffiti of East Austin. It includes the history of graffiti, quotes, types of graffiti, a gallery, and even a section to draw your own. I decided to use photography as a basis of my book which is why I chose a horizontal layout instead of vertical. Book making and binding was new to me at the time, so I had learned so much by the time the project was complete.

This project was a choice between an interactive or motion piece about East Austin. I chose to create an interactive piece and the topic I chose for East Austin was typography. When I did field research for this project in East Austin, I noticed the different forms of signage and that's what inspired me to create this interactive piece. I originally wanted to do this project in Flash, but my professor encouraged me to try it in Dreamweaver and this allowed me to learn a lot during this project.
