For WR 571 Typography, Layout, and Production, we worked with a poetry collection called Echoes of Rainfall.
One of the biggest challenges with this project was to keep the poet’s intended structure. With a couple of longer lines for the trim size, there was a balance to strike between readable font sizes and not introducing new line breaks.
As of yet, I don’t have a music pairing for this portfolio project, but perhaps I could make a rain song playlist. I can commit to doing that before I graduate in June 2026.
