BOYSCOUTS JADE AND CRANES

SPRING 2010

BOYSCOUTS JADE AND CRANES is the final project for a Visual Communications I class under the mentorship of Gail Swanlund. The entire content of the book, from copy to illustrations, is based on three objects: a boyscout, a jade bracelet, and a paper crane. The challenge was to create variety and storytelling within the restricted imagery and color palette. Studies on islamic geometric patterns and literary devices were used to explore the possibilities of the chosen objects.
