PROJECT SUMMARY

Darkwater: Voices From Within the Veil is a typeset publication, complete with an illustrated cover identity. Darkwater, written by W.E.B. Du Bois is a study of race relations in the United States in the 1920s. The illustrated cover reflects this 'veil' that Du Bois discusses, citing the separation between races, as he believed African Americans were finally emerging as their own in the United States. The moon motif continues in the story, serving as a symbol separating text. The typesetting was meant to be seen as personal and closed off, similar to a diary, where one writes their thoughts and beliefs.
