Revamped and ready to serialize, more than double the size of the Volume 00, Volume 01 holds 24 people and 22 pieces of new and republished Cleveland Review of Books writing. I was responsible for art direction, typesetting, and creating all visual artworks (whatever shape that takes: photo illustration, collage, drawing, public domain destruction) to accompany these pieces, as well as all CRB promotional material and adverts in and around the publication. In addition, I oversaw the printing process, working with Outlandish Press (a local Cleveland printer) to find pretty materials for production. Below are the covers and some of my favorite spreads.

CRB, a primarily online criticism journal, is now entering the print game. As the sole artist and designer on this project, I was given a lot of freedom to conceptualize a container, typeset text, and create artworks for each of the 12 pieces included in this volume, creating a book in the shape of a magazine. Below are a select bunch of spreads.
