Coffee Dogma: A Study in Typography and Rising Early

Typographic Book

This hand-bound typographic book (9 in. x 5.5 in) was created to illustrate the results of a nine week project to change one thing about myself. I attempted to rise at 5:30 am each day, and recorded the results and the impact on my productivity. I designed typographical art to illustrate the results as viewed through various lenses: expository, representational, antithetical and ambiguous. The book features a crown binding.
