cover lyric: “down there” by bronze radio return
the rock boat no. 12
this is a short editorial book I created just for fun following a music festival (on a boat). I did this as a way to organize some key memories into something more tangible.
while I didn’t sell it, I kept the book focused on the music [just in case] and if this book happens to live longer than me, I hope people discover some of the artists in it.
photos are my own; lyrics throughout were creatively selected and are all from bands on the boat or cover songs performed on the boat that year.
skills highlighted:
creative/art direction, editorial design, editorial typography, visual storytelling
rock boaters know the real joy when the sail away show begins and the boat starts to move.
