Poem Book

Select a poem of at least 4 lines (no more than 4 stanzas).
You will research and create imagery that relates to or illuminates the text, exploring the use of typography in both straightforward and expressive ways.

Consider how you can create a sense of continuity from one spread to the next using a visual “thread” that carries through the book. You can build momentum, using density of elements, then “wind down” those elements toward the end. Use design principles, such as contrast, tension, balance, and spatial depth. Each “spread” should give visual form to the part of the poem/story included on those pages.
