Wanderlust for Life, Set of Four Lookbooks
Design, Interaction, Art Direction, Photo Special Effects
As designer, I art-directed and drove the collaboration between designer/writer/photographer to come up with the concept for this series of lookbooks. Given the constraint of having little-to-no budget for this project, having the concept of "travel" called for very creative thinking. We deiced to shoot the model in-studio on a white backdrop, and take our own photos of "travel" scenery. In addition to in-studio model photography, we would include laydown photography to be shot in a "realistic setting". The goal was to mimic a scrapbook, creating the illusion that our gal really had traveled somewhere, and that she had taken the pictures herself.

After the success of the 4-part 2010 Holiday lookbooks, I wanted to experiment with refreshing the lookbook content weekly, rather than the usual once a month. We divided up the Travel concept into four geographical themes, and created four lookbooks, launching one per week for the duration of the campaign.

In addition to layout and design, I created all the "filmstrips", "snapshots", and "photo booth strips" in Photoshop. I used filters to give the photos an aged effect (to mimic the type of camera our model was using in some of the shots). Most of the scenery photography was taken by me, with exception of a few of the rural hills taken by staff photographer. The handwriting was done by another designer on my team.

Shopping Page Graphics

I created "category header" graphics for each of the shopping pages. The graphics needed to work for the duration of the campaign, with minimal repeat imagery to ensure each page was a fun experience for the customer.
