ANATOMY OF STEAMPUNK

Quarto/RACE POINT PUBLISHING

This was an amazing project to art direct and design. From the start, my goal in the creating these pages was to make them very rich, make them very layered and really make each spread special. I could not have had more fun making this book...all 224 pages of it! From the publisher's catalog: Steampunk fashion is hotter than ever with top-name designers (Anna Sui, Prada, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Balenciaga) incorporating Victorian-inspired fashion into their latest cutting-edge designs. The Anatomy of Steampunk is an inspirational fashion sourcebook for would-be steampunks everywhere. Loaded with stunning photography, you’ll get tips and ideas from steampunk-styled corsets and gloves to retro-futuristic dresses and mechanical jewelry. The best part? The Anatomy of Steampunk has DIY tips for transforming your ordinary, everyday clothing into a sizzling steampunk wardrobe. Discover how a few hooks or clips can transform a loose-fitting dress into a sexy, waist-cinching Victorian gown. Learn why a few strategically placed buttons or swatches of lace can make a blouse go from ordinary to extraordinary.

In recent years, I’ve been creating book trailers and other promotion motion graphics. I love it! For some time now, I’ve had the idea to reach back into the book archives for some of my favorites and create book trailers for them. Sure, it might seem odd to create a trailer for a 10-year old book. But I love this book and wanted to see it brought to life with some audio and slick visuals.
