Fabricating a book series, I selected three important individuals in Graphic Design history who I felt had very different design approaches: David Carson (intuitional), Michael Bierut (practical), and Massimo Vignelli (controlled). I assigned a shape to each designer as a representation of these methods. I in turn used them to create abstract compositions that were laser cut from a minimalistic white cover. These forms reveal small fragments of the designers’ portraits printed on the book covers below.
