Rough Cuts
Rough Cuts is a segment of Rough Guides music publications. During my time at Old Dominion University, we were tasked with creating our own magazine about a particular Blues or Jazz musician from the first half of the 20th century. But in order to complete the project, we had to use exclusively shapes and typographic elements to portray the artist's music, personality, and style. Big Joe Turner was my assigned artist and I decided to use a large, bold font with a lot of different shapes and sizes to complement Big Joe's larger than life voice and persona.
