I designed a booklet about various aspects of Italian culture that relate to art. I approached this project with extensive research into Italy’s art culture. My primary goal with this booklet was to avoid designing around clichés in regard to Italian culture. After extensive research, I decided to use the concept of hand-painted Italian tiles, which is consistent throughout each page of the booklet, to create a cohesive design. I illustrated each image and tile to create a hand-painted look similar to Italian tiles. I chose red and blue as my primary color palette to represent a mixture of the Italian coast (blue) and the mainland (red).
