Huy Vu
GRAPHIC DESIGN Huy Vu, who is pursuing a masters degree at the Rhode Island School of Design, has some awesome pieces in his portfolio. I really like his No One Can Imagine My Situation project that attempts to document human remnants left within the pages of self-help books at the Providence Public Library.

GRAPHIC DESIGN I just got my annual AIGA 365 book in the mail today! So very exciting. This year’s book, designed by Pentagram, is about three times the size of last year’s! The work inside looks pretty impressive too. Can’t wait to curl up on the couch and dive into the book.
