Real Imaginary People

My final book project for the Book Arts and Vandercook Letter Press class I took at Mass Art, Fall 2008. The project is basically a spoof on Facebook. It's a real book about real people...only their profiles are grossly exaggerated.

Book: Hardcover with black book cloth with sewn figure in white thread, accordion style pages
Type: Bodoni Book, size 12 and 24
Images: hand drawn with pen and ink

Enough prints to make a book for each person featured in it.

ah yes. but the difference being that i know these people and they're not from a magazine :D

yeah i like tentacle foot too. thats a cross between JQ and Amy from SACI...meaning its based on them.

These are great! Did you come up with the profiles yourself. I think Fatty Rhubarb is my favorite and I love the drawing with her four fingers held up:)

Krishna Chavda said...

all the profiles are based on my friends, inside jokes with them, etc (glass q is a combo of two people).

most of the stuff is exaggerated but that was the point of the project. i hope to make more, though the text wont be letter pressed since i dont have access to the press anymore.
