PROJECT
Create a coaster and bookmark promoting a new short story by the author of the Ooligan Press book Close is Fine. This new story was available as a download from the Ooligan Press website.
DESIGN APPROACH
Because this short story wasn’t included in Close is Fine, I decided to focus on imagery represented in the short story, and not just use the cover imagery from Treichel’s published book. These are elements of the story I incorporated into my design concept: 1975, Wisconsin in winter, and the Menominee Indians. For marketing purposes I included the full cover of Close is Fine on the back of the bookmark. For the coaster I played with the object quality, allowing for a bit of information to be read at every turn.
