Students design headline-grabbing book
The cover artist, Nelson Ramírez de Arellano Conde, meets two of the book designers, Rachel Tenuta ’15 and Emma O'Hagan.
Two Lake Forest College students designed a book— featuring photographs by world-class Cuban artists—that is drawing international attention.
Published this spring, “The Light in Cuban Eyes: Lake Forest College’s Madeleine P. Plonsker Collection of Contemporary Cuban Photography” is the first book by a North American to receive full support and permission for distribution in Cuba by the Cuban Ministry of Culture. The book was published by Lake Forest College Press.
Rachel Tenuta ’17Rachel Tenuta ’17 and Kelley Nugent ’16 worked on the project in the fall semester of 2014 as part of the new Print and Digital Publishing minor, an undergraduate book-design practicum unique to the College.
