RISD YEARBOOK

Year: 2024
Type: Commissioned
Category: Prints
Client: Rhode Island School of Design
Studio: RISD Design Guild The RISD Yearbook 2022 marked our return to physical spaces post-pandemic, celebrating the longing for social interaction. We transformed the yearbook into a collaborative canvas, replacing standard portraits with co-directed photoshoots. This approach turned the yearbook into a stage, showcasing each unique individual.

My typeface, Mo&Vio Serif is used as the primary typeface in this yearbook.
