Frank vs Frank


Book Design


Frank vs Frank is a little book inspired by two scammer characters—Frank Abagnale from Catch Me If You Can and Frank Gallagher from Shameless.

I compared and contrasted the wildly different approaches of those two scammers—one successful, and the other no so much—and rewrote Dieter Rams’ classic Ten Principles for Good Design to make it Ten Principles for Good/Bad Scam. 

The form factor is inspired by a check book. Inkjet printed, hand bound butterfly book with linen cover.
