Text and image can relate to each other in many different ways–they can coexist, compete, Confirm, clarify one another, cancel each other out, contradict each other, or move in opposite directions.  In my thesis, I respond visually to books on social topics I am curious about–such as morality, public media, and utopias. In doing so, I explore how the particular relationship between text and image in a design piece influences its meaning and its impact on viewers.
