In this lovely book titled Garage Jim and Jessica Sutherland have brought to life the contents of a garage by focusing on the silhouettes of all kinds of paraphernalia that turn into bees, frogs, clouds, angry faces, and more.
The thin, translucent dust jacket is the perfect complement to the rough-and-tumble chipboard cover, and it also serves to give the project some color and even a sense of fragility in an otherwise sturdy presentation. Using only black ink gives the book and poster a kind of vintage, utilitarian aesthetic that might just encourage one to go digging around the greasy parts of a garage in search of nuts and bolts or, better yet, suns and robots.
