THE SLENDER MAN

The Slender Man was a book project I completed within the graphic design program at Auburn University. With this project, our class was tasked to either take an excerpt from a book or a short story and create our own version of it. We were required to develop a concept, layout the structure using grid, and then bind and build the books ourselves.

Instead of taking a story that was already an established book, I decided take the difficult route and write my own story, creating a Slenderman fiction (of creepy pasta fame). My concept was to create a scary story that grew more intense and eerie as the book went on. Not only that, but I made the visuals more intense and claustrophobic the more the viewer read.

This is one of my personal favorites and I was really pleased in how it turned out.
