Lost LA Project

We were tasked with the idea of making a booklet out of a chosen episode in the "Lost LA" series. I decided to choose the identity of the beat poets of Venice, CA. I really liked their "pre-punk" aesthetic and wanted to represent that in the feeling of the book introduction and the contents/cover.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to use analog components in a composition to embody a "punk feeling"
Front and back cover of my book
page 1 and 2 of the intro of my book
page 3 and 4 of the intro of my book
page 5 and 6 of the intro of my book
Mockup of my posters in a train station
page 1 and 2 of book contents (the black/negative page represents the beat poet identity and is a poem that represents the movement in american typewriter)
page 2 and 3 of book content
page 4 and 5 of book content
page 6 and 7 of book content
page 8 and 9 of book content
page 10 and 11 of book content
