PROCESS

Research

The first step was researching the impressionist art movement and to find high resolution images in the public domain. Finding the images would be the main factor for the flow of the book. Fortunately, there were several art works to choose from but it did take time to compile and narrow down. Another important aspect I wanted to include was to include prominent women painting in this style that might not have as much recognition for their work.

Planning the Cover

For the sketching process I started with the cover since this would drive the color story. I picked out a few paintings that I thought would provide neutral and pleasing colors to use throughout the booklet.

During the sketching process, I was also researching what type of typography to use. I wanted type that had some flourish and drama and pair that with a modern serif for the body text.
