Graphic Design III- Locating Place

I was required to go to East side Austin, take pictures, and come up with a concept. The concept I choice was gentrification. I felt that a lot of the culture on East Side was dissolving due to the new generation of tenants who are trying to move in. Not only is the culture vanishing but old tenants are forced to leave due to the raise in property taxes. I enjoyed this project but am not satisfied with my crafting skills. I plan on reprinting the book and saddle stitching it again so the outcome looks cleaner. The book does not look like a typical book, it opens left to right as well as right to left. The slash in the center of both pages is supposed to represent the clash between the two societies that are forced to live in one neighborhood. Image Three is a spread from the left side of the book and Image Four is from the right side.
