Momo' by Michael Ende / 'Any Shade Between Black and White' select a text - write and design a response.

This process was quite the experience for me (and very time consuming). I started of designing the most ridiculous and boring layout - it gave me a headache whenever i looked at it or thought about it. I really tried to over come my problem and started working on it every day. I showed it to nearly everyone crossing my way. I was so frustrated that one day I sat down and drew a card for my friend. Everything i drew was type - it just came out of me, I drew my frustration on this card. This might have been my breakthrough point for this project. I started applying my hand-lettering to my response and well, never stopped. Everything in this book is hand written. What a waste of time!?
