Scott Avett: Invisible
Scott Avett: Invisible
For over a decade, and almost in secret, Scott Avett has amassed an impressive body of artwork. Though known primarily as a member of The Avett Brothers, Scott’s formal training was in visual art. We designed and co-edited a monograph that catalogs his work and documents his creative process.
Scope
Book Design, editing, Packaging, Print Design
While the primary goal of the book is to show off Scott Avett’s work, it also needed to be a memorable, collectible piece of art itself. The cover consists of elements borrowed from the artwork within to create a new composition. The running boy, a recurring motif in Scott’s work, wraps around the cover to the back of the book, using edge painting to provide an unbroken, 360º image.
As co-editors of the book, we sifted through thousands of photographs, journal entries, poems, and sketches—picking the highlights and using them to present a multi-layered impression of Scott as an artist.
