I was tasked with designing a publication from the ground up based on an academic article written by Ryan Hibbett. The main objective was to present the article in a way that would make it interesting, visually appealing, and still on topic.

The real challenge was making the design interesting, eye-catching and also relevant to the topic being discussed in the article. I noticed through personal observation, people do infact judge the book by its cover. Hence, my aim was to create designs that brought out the message and it's relevance to modern day politics. The result is seen below, where you have eccentric images paired with modern and dynamic typography, colours and editorial layouts that reflect the American culture. A sublte and yet obvious ode to the country whose politics are being referenced in the article. It also brings viewers to consider how certain lifestyles, likes, dislikes and preferences that are represented in the book have been used to show just how deep politcal campaigns can run. Encouraging them to question if they themselves have ever fallen prey to this game of manipulation. (tap the book below to see the pages! only for ipad and desktop)
