A Motor City Year






Just finished designing a book for the wonderful Maya Rhodes at Wayne State University Press. It's an ambitious project by renowned and astounding photographer John Sobczak, who spent a year shooting the people and places of Motown, one shot per day. I wanted to play off the calendar idea, using squares and numbers to create some interesting design-y stuff around those fabulous fotos. Plus, I got to have some fun typographically with the months on each opening chapter spread. An edifying project and a treat to work with someone the stature of Mr. Sobczak.
