The Challenge/The Goal:
The book was designed to provide a structure for text with various components: dream, meditative reverie, journal, autobiography, and poetry, using typography and placement on the pages to provide clues to the type of writing; The website design emphasized the tactile paper textures of printmaking, and the theme of a bound book with right and left facing pages

The Bonus:
Meeting Becca, and working with her on her extraordinary story of breast cancer survival during a time when I had family members and dear friends undergoing cancer treatment

The Results:
The book has been passed around as a reference and touchstone for cancer survivors and their family members
