These books were produced in visual communication classes taught by
Nicole Ferentz, Associate Professor of Visual Communication in the Department of Fine & Performing Arts. Professor Ferentz started teaching at Loyola in 1998 and ended almost every class with a book centered around a specific project.
Some projects explore the use of typography as pure visual form or verbal expression, while others explore graphic design history with timelines on historical periods and advertisements for typefaces. Still others provide students with organizational challenges in presenting a visual/verbal collection. Some books were printed in sufficient numbers to allow each student to have a copy as a memento of the class. Others were one-of-a-kind and produced by individual students. Over the years, Professor Ferentz has amassed a sizable collection which she thought would be fun to share it with you.
