First Illustration Project

Musicophilia

The assignment was to create a cut-paper book jacket; the one I got was "Musicophilia" by Oliver Sacks. Sacks is a neurologist who "uses fascinating and occasionally bizarre and quirky medical case studies to examine the powerful connection between music and the human brain throughout history." It was really fun to design something almost entirely with my hands. Last year I created three book jackets for a Graphic design class, and all of them, start to finish, were mostly digital. This was a fun prompt, sometimes the limitations in our requirements really stretch us out of our comfort zone and produce much more unique results.

Thanks for reading, hope everyone had a great weekend!
