Process
I am a car lover of all types, especially old school mopar cars — automobiles from the 40's - 80's. There are a lot of magazines on cars and car parts but there's not too many that are about exotic automobile paint. Custom car paint is very expensive and has a long process in which if you make a mistake you'll have to start over and spend more money. I wanted to make a book that is a guide to set up to paint and make custom car paint, yourself.
​
My process began and ended with these few stages:
​
-
Thinking about what type of series book.
-
Research
-
Creating a consistent layout
-
Critique
-
Making book cover & end page in Photoshop (Creating my own paint brushes).
-
Die-cuts
-
Different color foil paint splash for every page

From the movie "Bad Boys 2" this is a typography book with the full script of the movie. The typeface being used through out the book is "DIN 2014". I wanted to create this book to reflect just what the genre of the movie is such as comedy, action and drama; all with type in a very bold and playful way. Only in four colors red, blue, black and white.
