The Bun Shop Book
This project was a translation of a space to a publication. I chose to translate The Bun Shop, a small café I loved to frequent while living in Baltimore.
What I was most interested in communicating to the reader of the publication was a similar experience to what happens to me when I spend time at The Bun Shop. When I would go there, be it for studying or hanging out with friends, I would feel that this dimmly lit space was part of another world where time moves a lot more slowly. I decided the book would be a collection of typographic meditations on feelings of timelessness, caffeine, and seclusion.
I consulted a teacher and close friend for the content which ended up being song lyrics, essays and poems that revolved aroung these three themes.
Some spreads for the final publication are seen below.
