Great Writers Booklet - Walt Whitman

Students were assigned to create an eight page booklet with front and back cover in a letter sized publication. Students were asked to choose a writer to base the publication on. I chose Walt Whitman and filled the content of my booklet with a biography of Whitman's life around the time he published his first volume of 'Leaves of Grass'. The design was inspired by Whitman's writing and takes nature and elegance into account. Publication was designed black and white but printed on colored paper.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to create dynamic negative space in a publication. I also learned that just because space is available, it doesn't mean I need to fill it with an image. I also learned more production-related skills, like stitching a booklet together by hand.
