Harvard Travel Brochure

In this project, we were to select six festivals related by a theme and create a travel brochure describing each festival. I chose equestrian events that touched upon some commonlocations and some more remote, yet of interest to people who enjoy horses. These trips are targeted towards families and so the design reflects images that would capture a child’s interest as well as an adult.

Expressive Type

Here, we were asked to select a text and create a ten-page fold out describing what the book was about. I selected the Tao te Ching and highlighted certain passages or aphorisms in the brochure, creating feeling through the manipulation of typography and color.
