CODEX IX Book Fair & Symposium

I was proud to engage in another collaboration with the CODEX Foundation, this time to brand the 2024 CODEX IX International Biennial Book Art Fair & Symposium. Organized around the theme of Translation: Literal, Material and Artistic License, exhibitors and speakers addressed a wide range of topics, not just about how book artists and writers translate the world around them, but how they are engaged with texts, transcription, paraphrasing, or interpretation. To convey these ideas, I created a logo that was a visual representation of various voices saying the word "CODEX": we recorded voices repeating the word, input the audio files into a program that then translated them into visual soundwaves, which we then manipulated into the graphic element of the logo design. Once the logo was complete, we created a few variations of the design for different applications, which were implemented into supporting materials ranging from tote bags and shirts to lettepress printed posters, coasters, event tickets, program directories and other ephemera.
