The Fall of Saigon(e)

A typographic publication focusing on the final day of the Vietnam War, known famously as the Fall of Saigon. ‘Saigon(e)’ is a reference to the fact that the Americans were simply 'gone', after wreaking havoc upon Vietnam for over twenty years - a war effort which had no real tangible outcome or clear victor. Throughout the page spreads, typography is used to visualise each key moment of what happened on 30th April 1975 in Saigon. The book's style takes notes from inspirational American graphic designers at the time of the war, paying homage with a contemporary spin.
