Black Heritage in Racing

For this project, I was given copy and photographs from the Kentucky Derby Museum. I was then tasked with creating a cohesive system to bring visual interest and highlight the information presented through the other elements. I came up with the idea of using bright colors and shapes to mimic the colorful outfits that jockeys wear. I then worked on different ways to have the images interacting with splashes of color. I eventually settled on using color largely as a background element on which to place images. I then separated the sections of the book using these colors to tie each section together.
