My Book Idea

I decided I wanted my book to be about South Congress since that was the subject of the previous two projects and I love a good pattern.

I wanted to learn more about the history of South Congress so I did some google searching. I learned about the gentrification that is happening on South Congress and that inspired my book. My book is going to be in the style of Eric Carle’s “The Hungry Little Caterpillar.” It will start with some words about South Congress opposite a collaged landscape of shops on South Congress. Every page will have one more building cut out than the previous page, revealing the final page which is a collaged landscape of businesses that epitomize gentrification – upscale, sleek, and shiny.

Because of the nature of the cut out effect, the left side page won’t be able to have a picture on it, so it will have a pattern that I plan on creating.
