Objective
Find a coffee table book that had been poorly designed

Concept
For this project I used an old book about volcanoes that
had horrible type, and was overall poorly designed and
decided to redesign it into a coffee table book. Putting
more focus on the images and using the grid to create
beautiful type placement I recreated the book into some-
thing you can pick up and enjoy at any time.
