Field Notes will be my expansion.
CONCEPT
Field Notes from the Kitchen is the first in a series of books designed to educate people about things we all probably ought to know. In our specialized society, the average citizen spends the majority of their time and energy learning to complete one task or focus on one field. In this assembly line system, many of us never learned simple techniques of basic life, like how to fix a flat or can food.
These books will teach people such basic techniques. Each book will focus on a different topic. Posters also serve as reminders and decor.
WHY EXPAND
I've begun the book development with "Field Notes from the Kitchen," but there is so much more out there that people should know. This project is a natural expansion, as each book opens up a new topic of learning. I want to focus my design work here on out on addressing basic human needs, and everyone can learn from this.
CHANNELS OF EXPANSION
I would like to design a cohesive book series including at least three books, as well as create notecard sized graphics with condensed explanations of each technique for quick referencing. Exploring environmentally conscious printing choices is also important to me. I intent to potentially publish these eventually.
