Roy Dean Academy Jujutsu Book Layout
The process we went through
Roy wanted me to layout a coffee-table style photo book design. Jujutsu is a highly dynamic and beautiful art. It's difficult to capture the beauty and motion in just words and photographs. Roy provided me with excellent source materials and I approached the project in a cinematic way. My objective was to emphasize rhythm, sequences of motion, and the intimacy and physicality of struggle and training. Some single pages have multiple wide film-like frames juxtaposed in stacks or sequences like film editing and some large photos span across the open two pages of the book. I thought of the book in repeating and varying rhythms in a kind of musical composition.
