Power of Ten

– Out of Print –

This book is about locating the power in imagery and taking full advantage of the power of words. Students brought in examples of powerful images, identified visual power attributes, abstracted the image, and the developed their own images for the book. Lists of power words were generatd simultaneously. As the images emerged, text was created to enhance the power of the image. The ten mighty, mighty women who created this book typeset it by hand in mainly 12 pt. Optima type. It was printed on four Vandercook presses onto Mohawk Superfine, Soft White 80 lb. cover, with a smooth finish. Images were printed from linoleum blocks; acrylic gel medium occasionally added texture. The signatures were sewn together over a protective accordion fold paper, and the book has folded paper covers that are printed with an image. The size is 4.25 x 8.5 when folded and was printed in an edition of 100 copies.
