About

The cover system was built around hand-set punctuation marks: exclamation points, quotation marks, ampersands, letterpress-printed in a bold red, green, and teal palette on kraft stock, giving the book a tactile feel that nods to its subject, the craft of writing itself. Inside, the full interior layout was designed to hold a wide range of student work: poetry, plays, screenplays, each piece typeset with a clean, literary sensibility, with section openers carrying the author's name in the same confident type system established on the cover. Gold Collective designed and produced every part of the book, cover to interior.
