Art book design

Antonia Rusu

I wanted to produce a high-end visual art book on Modernism, focusing on the radical artistic shifts from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. The design had to reflect the spirit of the Modernist movement: bold, clean, functional, and forward-thinking. The book will balance rich visual content with accessible critical commentary and aims to become a collectible, coffee-table-quality publication. 
I have taken inspiration from Taschen books for the layout.
​​​​​​​Objectives:
- Visually express the key tenets of Modernism (minimalism, experimentation, abstraction, form follows function).
- Ensure a seamless blend between artwork and commentary.
- Appeal to a design-conscious, art-literate audience.
- Enhance readability while maintaining a modern, refined aesthetic
