For the book project we were instructed to destroy a book and transform it in a fresh innovated matter. I brainstormed and plan out what I wanted to accomplish when recreating the book in a new way. I wanted to relate my work back to the story of the book. For my book I decided to use the book “A piece of cake by Cupcake Brown.” The book is a memoir of a woman name Cupcake Brown that goes through foster care and must overcome drugs, being a prostitute (at the age of 11), being in a gang, and alcohol. She rediscovers God and becomes a strong independent woman that doesn’t let the past define her. For the design of the book I first hallowed out the book using an x-acto knife and then proceeded to glue the pages together. For the inside of the book I took a dessert cook book and cut out pictures and collaged it together inside the book. This represents sugar coating the truth. For the cupcakes on the top of the book I made the cupcake out of foam for the cake part and spackle for the icing. To top it all off a cherry on top. I had a fun time doing this project. I plan on continuing recreating books in my own way.
