Reciting your ABC's is easy, but learning what sound each letter makes, that's a different case. Alphaburp is a book displaying a series of onomatopoeia's through expressive typography and illustrations. The entire book is full of gate folds that conceal each illustration by displaying the upper and lower case of the featuring letter. Each illustration includes an animal and an onomatopoeia that starts with the letter displayed.

Type Specimen
Alphaburp uses a personally made typeface, Audyssey a typeface that combines the words "audio," and "odyssey," linking the meanings of an audio, visual journey. The book display each letter in the typeface using a gate fold. Each spread opens with both the upper and lower case to help readers recognize letterforms. 
Illustrative Onomatopoeias 
Under each letter gate fold is an illustration depicting both an animal and an onomatopoeia that starts with the featured letter. Alphaburp uses onomatopoeias to help readers understand and apply how each letter sounds in an expressive and fun manner.
Thank You!
