Prototype sketchbook leafthrough from Jens Maria Weber on Vimeo.

Status: Work in fast progress, 170 x 240 mm, 240 pages approx.
These pics show a prototype dummy of some 180 pages intended to check out type, layout and general feel.
Content is centered around visual exploration of storytelling: Scenery and invention for film, book and non-client work. Just the things that lead up to the shiny, finished panels in the presentation. Since this is an „artist’s“ book, there will be some carefully worded insights in the art and the biz.

Graphic designer, draftsman, painter, sculptor, illustrator etc, who never forgets that he’s still a graphic designer after all.
Reared in the west german industrial towns of the seventies in the days of grey laundry and belching chimneys. After an academic encounter with english and german literature at the Ruhruniversität Bochum, he followed the call to the secret mysteries of art and design at the FH Dortmund. Following graduation, he went into employment as a designer in Hamburg and subsequently changed to freelancing in 2001, specializing in graphic design and illustration.
He lives in the Ruhrgebiet again, where one can better focus on work and is busy with art and client work.
