This project was the culmination of my research on Laguna Gloria. On the site sits a house built by Clara Driscoll and her husband in the early 20th century. The project was to create a book about the site.

My book is a murder mystery taking place in from the 1920’s through the 1930’s. I wanted to write a murder mystery because I wanted to create something fictional and fun. I used real people and places in the story, but the events that transpired did not happen.

I chose to use only reds in my design to represent blood, love, and loss which are the main themes of the story. I also wanted to be interactive and bring the reader more into the story. I created a few artifacts that were found by various characters and slipped them into an envelope for the reader to peruse while they read. The book is supposed to be classy and simplistic with a solid cover and elegant design elements throughout the book.
