Quark Xpress: Seventeen

We were asked to redesign a design from one of the famous designers of the past. I chose designer Cipe Pineles, who became well known for her covers for Seventeen and Voque. Here's the original. It looks really dated now, but it was quite modern for the '50's. I updated the logo and typography and used some techniques that weren't available at that time.

Quark Xpress: Banned Books Week

A series of posters that aim to generate interest for the annual Banned Books Week. It's astounding how many books were banned from libraries and schools once, and even up to this day. 

Banned Books Week Poster I, scary

Banned Books Week Poster IV; satanic

Banned Books Week Poster II; sexual

Banned Books Week Poster III; gay

These posters were made for a school assignment and are in no way endorsed or sanctioned by Schlow Centre Region Library or its employees. The logo and sponsor that appear on them were solely used as part of the assignment.
