Did this all as a one-man operation: photographed the speakers, sourced the paper stock, managed the production

I built a modular system for all promotional elements of Composer and Sound Artist Jeff Kolar’s Rock Speaker Garden, a multi-channel audio installation of outdoor rock speakers at the Chicago Athletic Association.

The system was based around a set of photographs of the outdoor rock speakers Jeff collected for his site-responsive work. I produced the images in grayscale for print economy, but we splurged on a nice stock (shout out to French Paper) that nodded to the sandstone finish of the speakers. We used the system for print and digital assets.
