SUSAN SCOTT

HONORING AN EXEMPLARY TEACHER
_

In 2008 I was approached by Dawson College to put together a book for Susan Scotts teaching excellence award. Susan was an outstanding teacher who always did her best to help students achieve the most out of graphic design. I felt very honored indeed to have collaborated in this project. I was very happy with the result and so was she.

THE DARK HOUR

PERSONAL ART CATALOG
_

This was a personal project that I just finished last semester at UQAM. I created a personal book filled with portraits, my thoughts, quotes and songs of people who inspire me to draw. Music is the main reason why I started drawing in the first place. I am naturally attracted to somber things especially in music. The Dark Hour is the time in the evening where I enter my own little creative world.

The cover is a stiff cotton that is semi-transparent with black stitching on the spine. Each sheet was printed on Bienfang Graphics 360 paper on an Epson printer (thanks Mike). Bienfang paper has a beautiful transparency which favored the theme very nicely. The sheets were each folded in half to create an overlay effect. I also printed some text in between the sheets for a little mystery.

The original poster was created at smaller size and then enlarged as a black + white print.
