Bridge #2

Bridge 2 Project

This look book was made possible with the interview I conducted on my friend who is Puerto Rican. While talking to her, I learned about her culture and what is most important to her, family. In the look book, you will see quotes from the interview and images that represent Puerto Rican culture.

I want the look of my book to be very DIY inspired. I like the distressing of the jeans and the putting together of unordinary pictures together.

The making process

I wanted to make the book look like a postcard on the front. So I sketched it out and then painted it.

 

I was satisfied with the look of the cover, so I decided to cover card stock with muslin for all of the pages.

 

I pasted swatches I gathered from fabric stores and my own and put them on the pages.

 

I decided to bind the book with thread. It added to the DIY aspect that I was going for.
