CONCEPT:
A Sydney-based street poster artist moving from Sydney to L.A. commissioned a book to showcase her posters and help launch her career in the United States. A typographical device was designed using the artist’s initials, WM, as the principal typeface. This created a strong, graphic narrative illustrating the artist’s evolution and journey. It has a feeling of movement and progression. The overall effect is a striking cover based on organic typography. The cover graphic also works as a stand-alone design.
