Artist book paper
I want my artist’s book to be a typical book-like object with a 2 page spread. One page will have a drawing that is inspired by the poem on the opposite page.
The page with the poem on it will be simple so that the focus is on the poem not the surrounding artwork. The page with the drawing can be more complex so the focus is on the art work.
The goal when looking at the 2 pages together is to get a visual replication of the poem along with the poem itself. The goal is for the reader to feel all the intended emotions with the art being a visual help to the poem.
I want to do my artist book this way because I like the simplistic look of the traditional book and I want it to be organized by poem, one poem per two page spread. This could change as I see what it looks like in real life and could potentially change to one page altogether with artwork and poems on the same page but initially I feel like it would be too crowded and too chaotic.
