Background
The Objective
Image-making Exploration
I created a design system through experimentation with analog materials. I crushed paper with printed code and smeared it with ink, charcoal, and paint. I decided to use ink throughout the book because its spreading effect aligned with the book’s concept. I then ripped it, collaged it, and destroyed it, seeing what textures and compositions I could create. I photographed my experiments, bitmapped them in photoshop, and manipulated with the colors using gradient mapping.
