Concept
I wanted to take portrait photos of the erasmus students and experiment with studio lighting and add duotone colours. I added colour to show their creative side. The storybook was an infographic accordion brochure, that showed the HfG style of layout.
Keith Moran 25 – Ireland – “Work hard and be nice to people”.
Marce Amador 23 – Costa Rica – “Do or do not, there is no try” Yoda.
Bar Keshet – Israel – “Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder”.
Erland Howden 30 – Australia – "To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. - Arundhati Roy the end of imagination".
Brenda Gómez Tencio 24 – Costa Ricat – “Stop thinking and just let the things happen” I try all the time to remember this quote, because sometimes I overthink everything and at the end I don’t enjoy or I missed the little great things”.
Ruth Gardiner 22 – UK – “And those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not here the music”.
Maja Björkqvist 22 – Sweden – "I have no idea actually. I can never remember quotes...".
Anders Kiilerich 25 – Denmark – "No Comment".
Grid Layout
I used a 12 column grid. By doing this it gave me more room and white space.
Cover Design
The cover is a collaga of crazy images of my stay in Germany. The cover is designed to misslead people into thinking this book is going to be crazy.
