Solo Project
This collection is coil bound on card stock with thick grey covers, divided up by color coordinated chapters. This is made to emulate a scientific handbook, professional and educational while diving deep into the contents of the book. The particular challenge that was tackled with this book was to organize a large collection of pieces, along with their metadata, into a lengthy book. After having designed the book, it was also difficult to achieve the originally desired effect for the chapters and covers.
At first the book was going to have a purple cover with the basic outline of a brain shaded in behind the title, however there were limitations that changed the trajectory of the project. There were several challenges, including creating an organized grid design system, and project management challenges. This was overcome through critique and compromising with the printing team. The finished collection ultimately balanced clarity with creativity, resulting in a polished and professional outcome. The structure of the book reflects careful consideration of hierarchy, readability, and flow across its chapters. Overall, the project demonstrates how design decisions, even when adjusted due to constraints, can lead to strong and effective results.
