Designer Vs. Designer Folio

Two designers–both alike for their pictographic style in the culture of a burgeoning design world and each having revolutionary ideas on the treatment of type, yet worlds apart in their ideas for how these principles should manifest on a page. As part of a design studio course at RISD, I was tasked with making a creative folio comparing these aforementioned designers, Erik Spiekermann and Jean Widmer. The folio had to fold carefully, presenting the information in an engaging and tactile way. Instead of a traditional folio, I made a design that folded out from the middle of a large square, folding outward to cover a table rather than one longer string of pages that might make up a traditional folio.
