SMITHSONIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS BOOKLET

This project focused on showcasing a specific museum or exhibit in printed publication form. I chose to feature the Smithsonian’s Photography Windland Smith Rice Awards. Each page of this booklet includes award-winning photographs and the information accompanying them. The use of cropped, low-opacity, overlapping text adds dimension to the pages, and flow of photographs from one page to the next provides a balance and ease for readers to digest. The striking image on the front cover has high contrast and grabs the reader’s attention, and the simple typography creates a balance with the rest of the cover and does not distract from the power of the photograph.
