Disgusted
By Dinner

A visual system for a collection of books & a system guide.

About The Project

I was tasked with designing a system of book jackets that included four levels of typographic hierarchy: title, author, tagline and collection label, as well as a description, review quote, upc, price, ISBN number, publisher web address, collection statement, & an ‘also available’ listing with all of the titles I designed.

My Role

When designing this series I chose to go beyond traditional typesetting & create a way to make the type specific to each book/system guide. I photographed a title treatment for each book made from food that many find unpalatable, which tied in nicely with the content of this series.

More Work

Book titled 'Extreme Cuisine'. The title treatment of the book consists of crawfish legs making the word 'Extreme' with 'Cuisine' written in hot sauce.
