Marcel Duchamp Book  ::

The full title for this book is "Marcel Duchamp : The Art of Making Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." My idea for the design of the book came from the title.  While the book functions as a biography of Duchamp's life and a showcase of his artwork, the primary focus of the book is Duchamp's process of creating artwork.

From start to finish, the design of the book attempts to illustrate the process of creation. The cover uses his self portrait and roto-reliefs to illustrate the intial conception of an idea for a work of art. The title page contains a sequence of images that show Duchamp in the process of creation. Subsequently, the chapter pages each display a finished piece of artwork.

The content pages for the book are set up on a modular grid system which can easily shift to accomodate varying amounts of text as well as different dimensions for each image. The modular grid also allows each page to be fresh and new while still staying within the overall structure of the book.
