Donald Judd’s Magazine Spread8x10inch

In this project, my main objective was to capture Donald Judd’s minimalist art style while ensuring a captivating visual experience. Crafting the viewer's journey in reverse was key to achieving this goal, echoing the simplicity and allure intrinsic to minimalism, thus encouraging deeper exploration.

Initially adhering to a monochromatic palette akin to Judd's preference for 2-3 colors, I later introduced additional hues following feedback from a critique session to enhance visual appeal. The inclusion of pull quotes added layers of interest and depth. Subsequent iterations saw the introduction of framing lines, echoing Judd’s distinct forms, alongside experimentation with an 8x6 grid, which provided a sturdy foundation for creative exploration while upholding the essence of Judd’s minimalist principles.

The Midnight Journey Book Cover8x11inch

For the graphic-based image cover, I drew inspiration from key themes and elements of the book. My primary focus was on the concept of multiple lives, symbolized through the knight chess piece, representing the protagonist Nora’s journey.

The rectangles surrounding the knight chess piece evoke the opening scene where Nora and the librarian play chess, setting the stage for her exploration of different life paths. The front text embodies the professional, systematic nature of a library, while the block-like shapes reflect the structured form of library stacks.

This design not only captures the essence of the narrative but also visually communicates the orderly yet multifaceted nature of Nora’s journey.
