America: the Borrower
Typography & Editorial Design
For this project, I compiled 3 essays about post World War 2 America into one coffee table book. Each section of the book was then made to fit thematically, both in content and in design.
(Student Work)
Section 1: Catching the Bug
Fellow designer Eric Van Buskirk details the origins of Volkswagen and how they carved out a market in postwar America through bold marketing.
Section 2: Brutalizing America
In this section, I illustrate the rise and fall of the Brutalist architectural movement in America and profile two of its key players, Walter Netsch and Marcel Breuer.
Section 3: NYC Reaching Upward
This section, written by Acacia Thalman, outlines the moving pieces that catapulted New York City into the cultural capital of the world following the second world war.
