On My Mind

A collaboration between Eli Hamilton, Ciel Rodriguez, and myself. As students in Cathie Ruggie-Saunders advanced letterpress class, we discovered that each of us grew up near Atlanta, Georgia, and decided to make a project together. Using laser cut graphic elements and handset type, we describe how the state and those in it impacted our growth, eventually leading us to Chicago.

Early concepts explored book formats to convey chronology and a folded map to show travel. The final form is a synthesis of both, where it can be folded into a single square and paged through as a book or unfolded to be like a map.
