Dave Eggers – 14 Short Stories

This project was completed whilst attending the Porto Design Summer School run by Andrew Howard in partnership with Escola Superior de Artes e Design, Porto. The brief was to design a publication as a group of four using a selection of short stories by Dave Eggers. The selection of stories were categorised by the group into four themes: Individuals, Lovers, Family and Strangers. Each designer in the group was then assigned a theme to design. I was assigned Individuals. The group then discussed editorial strategy in order to create a coherent publication. Additionally, a universal theme across sections was decided to guide the design process, each designer would use the underlying concept of obscuring names in each story.
