TranSCient: Our Fleeting Final Year at USC

A limited-release, 174-page anthology of film photos and biographical interviews from 13 seniors at University of Southern California. Ruminating on personal practice and perception, the book amplifies a dialogue on the relationship film-users share with nostalgia and reclamation during their final year of college. While I led the branding and overall publishing process, each contributor designed a 10-12 page chapter themselves, or shared their photo collection with me to layout for them to maintain a collaborative process beyond the interviews. Geometric shapes, bright bicolor palettes, and retro font selections target feelings of nostalgia, with the star motif woven throughout each chapter to represent camera flashes and halcyon memories gone by.
