My Grandma Goes Cover Art

The latest event guide for the German Trade Union (DGB) in Munich is out. I created both the jacket design and the inside illustrations. The postcard-sized brochure lists the many seminars and workshops and lectures and events and whatnot that the DGB provides for Munich this coming fall.
The cover art is a collage of assembled portrait photos, around which I spilled acrylic color. My goal was to create a vintage look (hence the predominantly dated photos from the 1930’s through 1960’s) that looks fresh and modern at the same time (not to mention loads of relatives of mine who are spread out mostly on the back flap, including my grandfather, my great-grandfather, my grandmothers, bro, dad, and mom, and my little niece Pauline a.k.a. Paulinchen).

This is the design for the second half of the year which was preceded by a similar design in February. Note my lovely grandmother on the front flap (above the September label). I have been designing such booklets for the German Trade Union for many years now > more.
