PROJECT
My work for Fairchild Books, a part of Bloomsbury Publishing that produces fashion and interior design textbooks, is mainly concerned with prepping the books for mass production via printing. An essential part of these books are the images, figures, and graphs that accompany the main text, and I do everything from simple font edits to creating entirely new graphics to ensure that each page is legible, visually appealing, and printable with no issues.
From The Why of the Buy 3rd Edition by Patricia Mink Rath, Stefani Bay, et al. The girl is representational of a demographic rather than depicting a specific character.
From Interior Design Research Methods by Lily B. Robinson. A graphic with simple diagrams, a gradient background, and outlines that don’t obscure the figure’s text.
From Environmental Psychology for Design 4th Edition by Dac Kopec. Depicted the frustration of an individual without discernable race or gender.
From Interior Design Research Methods by Lily B. Robinson. A color figure remade in greyscale w/ print compliant text while retaining light/dark balance and legibility.
From The Why of the Buy 3rd Edition by Patricia Mink Rath, Stefani Bay, et al. Vectorized version of a handmade diagram with digital homages to the painted original.
From The Visible Self 5th Edition by Joanne B. Eicher and Sandra Lee Evenson. Based off an old cartoon depicting different regions’ modesty standards. Created new poses and adjusted outfits for the two figures.
From Fashion Forward 3rd Edition by Chelsea Russo and Nancy Ostroff. Fixed the spacing between years and cleaned up the color and overlapping as well as major inconsistencies in the starting point of many of the colored bars.
From Textiles for Residential and Commercial Interiors 6th Edition by MaryPaul Yates and Adrienne Concra. Vectorized a low-resolution graphic of a machine.
From Technical Sourcebook for Apparel Designers 4th Edition by Jaeil Lee and Camille Steen. Recreated a webpage screenshot as an illustration with fixes to text color, icon design, and legibility.
From The Why of the Buy 3rd Edition by Patricia Mink Rath, Stefani Bay, et al. Significantly changed a caricature-like drawing into a representative graphic depicting a typical female consumer of unspecified race.
