Book Jacket - “Green Plague”
13.5x8 in. (6x8 in. covers)
September 2011
Photoshop, Illustrator

GRAPHIC DESIGN - PRINT | 01

Initially created for a class on computer graphics. The assignment
required that students address the topic of sustainability - I chose to
create a satirical cover for a fictional book opposed to green
initiatives. The jacket was illustrated in Photoshop through photo
manipulation, blending modes, and by hand. The layout, text, and
icons were designed in Illustrator.

poster that I felt reflected Fitzgerald’s critique of
Jazz Age America and the contradictions in his own life story.
