Riso Poetry Book, Publication Design, Spiral Binding

Inspired after taking a poetry writing workshop, I designed, and printed this chapbook with 12 original poems written over the course of 5 months using all of my own photography, art, printings and color separations to accompany them. Each poem has its own spread with an original piece of artwork and bright risograph inks. A mix and match of photos, illustrations, and collages they each pay omage to lines and phrases in the poems

I personally handmade 25 copies over the course of a month at the CCS Imaging Center using the risograph printer, Neenah paper and florescent spiral coils. I was lucky enough to sell copies at the Detroit Art Book Fair where all proceeds benefitted CCS’s AIGA student organization and our spring break studio trip visits.
