When tasked to redesign a book of my choosing, I found it was going to be necessary to select a book with strong subject matter, yet suffered from a lack of typographical sophistication. This endeavor proved to be more challenging than initially thought, as there was no shortage of books needing assistance and I was faced with a multitude of possibilities as vast as the San Francisco library's card catalog.
Ultimately, I selected a book by Life magazine, which showcased 100 people who changed the world through bold and experimental means. It was in this same manner that I wanted to convey the powerful history behind these remarkable figures and their extraordinary contributions, while still honoring the journalistic appeal of the publication's past.
