"The old American Dream was the dream of the Puritans, of Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard"... of men and women content to accumulate their modest fortunes a little at a time, year by year by year. The new dream was the dream of instant wealth, won in a twinkling by audacity and good luck."
Chasing The California Dream: Gold Rush to the Golden Era is a publication submitted to the 2020 ISTD awards. The publication discusses the culture and significance around migrants who sought out the "California Dream" during two points in history: the Gold Rush and the golden age of Hollywood cinema. It compiles self-directed research that re-imagines design elements of each era in a contemporary editorial setting.
