Jim J vector project



I chose the book Catch 22 by Joseph Heller as my project. The book was written in 1970 and involves a man who wants to be declared mentally unfit. To do so he must ask for a mental evaluation. Asking for a mental evaluation is seen as a rational thing to do, therefor anyone who asks is obviously of a stable mind. Heller and his publicist came up with a list of names for this condition and settled on "Catch 22" as it sounded the best phonetically and has since become synonymous with paradox. I chose to make the cover look as if it were an important, though coffee stained, official document with most of the text censored. True to form, the more I worked on making it simple, the harder it got. My own "Catch 22".
