Objective

Observe and document your own habitat, collecting images and writing. Find patterns and design a book about you. It may include subtexts or side subjects but should express to the reader a central overarching theme developed from your daily observations.

Approach

Looking for repetition in my semester, the patterns I found stretched across my life. The truth about me is that I have habitually been an outlier. Everywhere I have lived, I have stood out, always coming from somewhere else. Once this theme became clear, I only had to quan-tify it to display it across the pages. Each spread contains a mostly accurate graph or chart that expresses one quality about the author-designer, from food and drink preferences, to immutable personality traits, to life choices. This fabricated data may not stand up to more rigorous scrutiny, but the end result is a book for a designer, not for a scientist: a work of experiments, experimental typography.
