The RAW Book
After a long contemplation of how our health is affected by our relationships with food, my classmate Isabel Zapata and I decided to create a book that would provide information and empathy on the subject. I independently designed the layout and other design elements of this 200+ page, hardcover book. Many of the illustrations and pieces of writing were also my work. Isabel provided the photographic elements, and many additional contributors provided the narrative, research, and poetic material. We currently sell the books through local distribution methods, and hope to expand soon. We were funded by the Visual Studies department and the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania. All profits go to Philabundance, a food charity in the Delaware Valley Region.
