Silk and Stone, Xiao Jing Yan
Xiao is a successful Chinese-Canadian sculpture artist who's work explores a personal relationship between nations and other cultural challenges. The print piece is an anthology that gives a sophisticated space to allow Xiao's dynamic work to speak for itself in it’s frame.
Balance between typography and photography was important for this project. The complex images needed to be supported with text, but through experimenting with layout and hierarchy, I was able to play with the 12 column grid to create a consistency for the eye while letting the images take precedence.
Design Festa, 2017
A Japanese type setting challenge through an event catalogue (print/web) for the annual international art event in Tokyo.
This project taught me how to balance and match typefaces outside of my normal comfort zone of English and French.
