jeNGK: C BLOCK BOOK ARTS AND LETTERPRESS



The initial assignment for the final was an individual project, but we created a new project proposal to work together as a class, which Aaron approved. Each student came up with a two-word phrase on the theme of "junk" and gave it to a classmate to interpret. Those words were turned in to a four-page folio design which we worked in teams to print.



The book is pictured along with our other projects during our class opening on August 2nd.

We worked together on nearly every aspect of the final project and the outcome is a true, nine-person collaboration (with lots of help from Taryn Wiens and Aaron Cohick of course!) 



Group projects are not always exciting and successful, but this experience was an exception. Each member of the class has a distinct design style, which allowed the final to be a coherent and differentiated piece reflective of each student's efforts. 


We worked hard, and had a wonderful time.
