Frame of Reference
For my degree project I decided I wanted to put my hard earned design education to work in a way that matters and benefits me. This book is a collection of poems from the last decade of my life. I wrote, designed and bound the book by hand. From lazier cutting and embroidering the frame, to cutting out each cutout. Frame of Reference is a complete culmination of my creative education and effort.
The book consists of 4 chapters; Life, Love Loss and Loneliness, the Frame of Reference that categorizes each poem. The book has page cutouts which are consistent with the chapter organization
After designing the pages, I played around with different hard and soft cover designs. The hardcover design consisted of a screen printed white canvas embroidered with the title. The final design is simple and timeless but also something you want to touch.
