Born This Way: The Fashion Collection

Scope

Design a book using a text source of your choosing.

Process

Rather than narrowing in on text alone, I opted to design a book that valued text as much as imagery. By drawing from the fashion publications and photographers who worked with Gaga in the Born This Way era, I was able to pair lyrics and photography in a way that reflects the vibrant sound and provocative edge of the album.

The end result is a highly detailed, large-format book, depicting not only lyrics, but background on the photographers, their crew, the designer items pieces worn, and a biographical timeline of Gaga's life up to 2011.

Specifications

You can find this 12"x17" 80-page book sitting on my coffee table as an ode to Mother Monster herself. Typeset in Futura PT.
