Trick of the Eye
Editorial Design
Trick of the Eye is a two part book series which explores the art of Trompe L’oeil objects; objects which are created to mimic other objects and trick viewers. The first book is a catalogue of featured artists work and the second dives into the psychology of Trompe L’oeil and its relevance in modern day.
Process
The process of these books began with a lot of research on Trompe L’oeil history, the artists who create them, visual perception, and psychology. Throughout the entire process of creating the books, research continued as needed.
Then layout designs were explored as well as typography, cover design, and image sourcing. Once the books were complete they were printed, cut, and perfect bound by hand.
Final Result
The final result of Trick of the Eye are two clean, well researched books that explore the medium of Trompe L’oeil sculptures.
