This is a book that I designed on the immoralism of animal entertainment. I originally started with the immoral acts of sports which then lead to the focus on just animals. I spent 14 weeks researching about the events in this book. The chapters go from the bloodiest abuse with animals, to the not so common events, to the events that most people are known to contribute to. Animals play an important role in my life which made this project incredibly special to me, even if I was going through many emotions reading and seeing what humans put animals through.
Designed a poster to go with the book with the idea of showcasing one of the animals but not giving it all away. I chose to have the event be at the Animal Rights National Conference in Los Angeles. Poster printed on Newsprint to focus on the dark and sensitive side to the book.
