Art Director Designer Art Publication ROLE: DESCRIPTION: Beautiful/Decay : Book 6“Future Perfect” NAME: SUMMARY: BEAUTIFULDECAY.COM LINK: LOGO: SKILLS: FRONT: BACK: INSIDE GATE-FOLDS: ARTIST INTROS: INSIDE FLAPS: COVER VARNISH: In my role for Beautiful/Decay Book 6: Future Perfect, I spearheaded the curation of artwork from over 100 artists, each envisioning a better tomorrow through their creative expressions. Tasked with selecting pieces that captured the essence of a perfect future, I helphed facilitate a contest sponsored by Toyota to feature a winning artist's work in the book. I delved into the concept of envisioning a harmonious future, drawing inspiration from Plato's philosophies on simplicity and ideal forms. Embracing the notion that the future lies in simplicity and harmony, I incorporated imagery centered around platonic solids, symbolic of perfect geometric forms that represent the fundamental building blocks of the universe and the possibilities of a brighter future.
