The objective was to translate Kurata’s fearless use of color into a book that feels just as bold and unexpected as her work — playful, punchy, and unapologetically vibrant.
The strategy was to embrace scale, structure, and contrast to create a bold, blocky, and vividly red book that embodies Shirley Kurata’s signature style. The title Large Frames is a playful nod to both her iconic oversized glasses and the larger-than-life impact of her work.
Vibrant, punchy, and larger than life, Large Frames doesn’t sit quietly on a shelf — it demands attention, just like Kurata’s work.
