For this project, I researched a famous graphic designer, Bradbury Thompson, and his body of work. I then made this book to display Thompson’s work and educate the reader on his design career. I aimed to reflect Bradbury Thompson’s methods in the design of this book, thus making it an embodiment of Thompson himself.
Sprouts is a fictional produce market I created and branded. It is intended to be an extension of 826 National, a nonprofit organization that teaches literacy to youths in the United States. Every 826 building has a storefront unique to its community, so I made Sprouts unique to Creston, a neighborhood in Grand Rapids, MI.

Group members: Ben Pahl, Nathan Hanks, Christine Peruski
