From the Ashes of the Old

From the Ashes of the Old

Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Massachusetts, 1998

Description

This book examines the recent reemergence of the labor movement as a major political and economic force. The jacket was inspired by the leaflets and posters of the original movement—the use of bold typography printed in an unsophisticated, inexpensive way. To achieve this look, unfused color laser printouts were smudged and distressed for the final art, which was printed one color on uncoated stock.
