OBJECTIVE:
Design and produce a printed book based on a banned book from Project Gutenberg. Connect and focus its message to a contemporary issue.
SOLUTION:
Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, was banned for its reference to homosexual tendencies between Romeo and Mercutio. In my edition, Juliet is changed to Julien to bring attention to the trials and tribulations of the LGBTQ community that continue centuries later. The hope is that it will lead to greater compassion and acceptance of diversity in sexuality.
