Dream Factory Book design
Dream Factory," published by Lost LA, explores the vital yet often ignored contributions of women as directors and writers in Hollywood's early days. The book's design, inspired by the dynamic spirit and obscured stories of early cinema, aims to vividly bring to life the rise and subsequent decline of these pioneering women's influence. It sheds light on their foundational impact on the film industry, combining thorough research with creative presentation. This work not only recounts historical achievements but also seeks to inspire by highlighting the resilience and innovation of these trailblazers, underscoring their lasting legacy in shaping cinema.
Book design
To complement "Dream Factory," I created a poster series highlighting the journey of women in Hollywood from 1895 to 1938, showcasing their rise and decline. These posters, more than promotional tools, aim to spark discussions on women's representation in film. Available for free at select bookstores, they support a movement for greater female inclusion in the industry, extending the book's conversation and fostering appreciation for women's cinematic contributions.
Each chapter in the book represents a pivotal era or genre in early Hollywood, reflecting the changing roles of women in the film industry. Inspired by silent film aesthetics, the book's design incorporates a monochromatic palette and typography akin to silent movie titles, enhancing the historical ambiance. Selected photographs underscore women's significant contributions, strategically paired with narratives to deepen reader engagement. This design choice not only enriches the reading experience but also pays homage to women's lasting influence on cinema.
