About
Personal booklet is a typography course project where students of WIZO Haifa Academy of Design & Education need to design a booklet, that describes the most personal and intimacy details, for each other. I got information about my classmate, his bio, stories, photographs and memories from that place, his favorite food, his favorite movie, his best and worst designs and arts. My role was to build a typographic grid, to develope a typographic style for a booklet, to find great solution for visual interpretation for his works and life at all.
My priorites
I designed and recreated experiences and feelings of Yaniv Cohen, my classmate. As I new Yaniv as a designer with very colorful and very variable arts, I chosed as a style for his booklet to be black&white, quiet, minimalistic and elegance. I started to build a grid for that booklet based on a feeling I have for the Yaniv and his arts.
I created a visual system for fonts, color pallete, illustrations, grid, and after all the work was finished I printed the booklet, and crafted a 3D pop ups for his works.
Illustrations
I felt wrong to disturb Yaniv's arts and designs by other visual noise, and because of that I developed styled illustartions based on his pictures, photographes, stories and bio. As a referense I choosed to use One Line hand drawnings, that I felt the most describing Yaniv's character as a dynamic and variety person. I drawned all the working visual files I got from him - his portreits, his pictures from some locations where he was, his memory of his favorite job, his favorite food recipe and etc. All drawnings were made with Wacom Intious Pro at Adobe Illustratior.
Pop Ups
I choosed to show Yaniv's designs and arts as a popups, that become something different by page opening. I read some instructions for how to make a pop ups, and after I printed the booklet I cuted, crafted and glued all his designs in a book.
