Art Students Rework The Wizard of Oz

Type designer and illustrator Jessica Hische came up with this project for her students at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia:

“I decided to assign one main project with multiple components — book cover design + endpapers, titlepage, and bookplate for a special edition novelization of The Wizard of Oz.”

“This was literally the first time some of the students had worked with type, so I was expecting to have to do a lot of hand-holding. But, after a very brief lesson, they returned the following week with shockingly amazing type treatments!”
