Preservation Hall by Shannon Brinkman: Book Design
I got to work with the fabulously talented photographer Shannon Brinkman on her seven year photo project on Preservation Hall. Her photographs of this legendary jazz club in New Orleans were so fresh and full of energy and included a large number of unique images shot in a diamond oriented format. Our job was to edit the work and design a dummy version of her dream book to pitch to publishers. One aspect that seemed logical to explore was using this diamond shape and the jazzy theme in the design. I am happy to say that the book was eventually published by LSU Press, although they did abandon most of my type treatments.
