Extinction Rebellion:
“letterpress and book layout design”
Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse. Students in my course and myself collaborated to create the following designs for the clients: book jackets (front & back), internal page spreads, divider pages, and posters. The back cover is my design; I created it using the monoprint technique. I was fortunate to have my back book cover design chosen by the Extinction Rebellion and published in their final print.
The adjacent image is a representation of the final published Extinction Rebellion book.
How I Mistook The World For A Cow.
It's true. I thought the world was a large cow. I used to drain her bulgy dugs most days. But blame the world for this. The world allowed me to believe she was a cow, the way she'd moo on cue and squirt out milk to drink. When I tied her up too tightly, somehow she only twitched her tail and let me think she loved to roam around and play the cow. I mean, she never tried to get away. She never bellowed to be fed or sheltered, just stood, slow-blinking, at what came her way, unmoved by belching trucks and cars that pelted past. Oh well. So, the world is not a cow. How will I fill my empty stomach now?
