A nice little reminder to go off the beaten path more often.

It’s how I pay the bills. But I’ve tried to refrain from including it here—a site I’ve tried to keep focused on photograph. However, I’ve had a category for design on this site since launching. I’m thinking it needs to get used every once and while.

Occasionally they collide. Like now. I’m working on a cover for boundary 2. These covers are great to work on from a design perspective: challenging.

For this next issue, American Poetry After 1975, I found myself looking for graffiti, largely for textures to build a cover from. In Raleigh, the most accessible (and reliable) graffiti is the Free Expression Tunnel on NCSU’s campus.

Now, the chore of editing these and finding a way to make them work as duotones. On a cover.

(Oh. And I’ll probably loosen up a bit on posting design related stuff here. At least until the Sky2x site is launched. Which, is actually in production. Shocking.) ncsu-expression-035 ncsu-expression-030 ncsu-expression-025 ncsu-expression-023 ncsu-expression-022 ncsu-expression-020 ncsu-expression-019 ncsu-expression-018 ncsu-expression-017 ncsu-expression-016 ncsu-expression-015 ncsu-expression-014 ncsu-expression-013 ncsu-expression-011 ncsu-expression-09 ncsu-expression-08 ncsu-expression-07 ncsu-expression-03
