Laying It All Out
While designing this book, I learned how powerful type and layout can be in shaping a reader’s experience. I saw how careful choices in typography, scale, spacing, and composition can create rhythm, guide attention, and even express personality without relying on imagery. Working within a minimalist framework pushed me to be more intentional with every detail and showed me how restraint can often make a design feel stronger and more dynamic.
