The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.

"To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios", 2007. Published by Chronicle Books. Design by Tolleson.
Pretty much the first ever novel I bought just because of the cover design. Not sure exactly who this UK edition was design by. It shares many elements with the US edition, who's designer is Jamie Stafford-Hill with illustration from Viktor Koen and art direction by Irene Gallo. Perhaps the same team did both. Anyone confirm?
Everybody had to choose a counterculture and be guided by its (conscious or unconscious) visual identity. The subject of my book was dandyism. They cleared the road for other ambiguous groundbreakers like youth culture, art and the gay movement. As a matter of fact, dandyism is more than a clearly identifiable cultural and historical phenomenon and thus it was quite a challenge to explain its history in a somewhat chronological way, so there are no real chapters in the book. It’s been dividend into three main parts, where each one has its own graphic character expressed in a textual, material or visual way. In dandyism, certain historical figures like Brummell, Baudelaire, etc. served as a prototypical reference to the dandyism of their time.
Because of that, their bio's are like a foundation from which the book is constructed to offer a better insight to the reader. The literary character of the (historical) dandyism is clearly shown but you can see the emphasis shifting towards the end. In the 20th century, it became more of a popular-democratic element that was mainly expressed in images (fashion, photography, film). The centre consist colored pages in referral to the early fashion magazines -that real dandies read-, explaining mainly their clothing style throughout the different periods. By the confluence of form and content, the book has become a good and instructive overview on dandyism.

Designed by Stephanie Bart-Horvath. Photographs by Lewis Hine.
This is one of the first books I designed, at the beginning of my career. These amazing WW1 photos were found by a researcher who came across a group of unattributed, extraordinary WWI photos and upon conducting what amounted to an extensive amount of detective work, found that they were taken by Lewis Hine, the photographer known for documenting child labor practices. That set of photos was largely responsible for the child labor laws we have in this country today.
Some good lessons here:
(1) Whims -- we should follow them!
(2) "But by the time I had the book in type my ambition languished -- and so did the pages." Happens to the best of us!
(3) No need to apologize for anomalies, since "we are the heirs of all ages. . ." Well, I don't know . . .
Vol. II, Minuscules: concertina fold.

This is a book design and execution that I created for Susan Kozel's book Closer published by the MIT press.
It was an assignment in a UCLA Design | Media Arts Class. The front portion of the book is comprised of all the text and images, clearly setup into a four row system, which aligns to the four flipbooks at the very back of the book.
Vol. III, Majuscules: ‘F’ and ‘E’.
The letters were handwritten with white crayon on a dark silk-screen printed background.
