what alice forgot
This typographic cover reimagines What Alice Forgot through the lens of memory—fragmented, layered, and ever-shifting. I used type as image on the front, blurring and stretching letterforms to reflect the novel’s themes of loss and rediscovery. On the back, clarity returns through careful typesetting and structure. The result is a visual dialogue between what’s remembered and what slips away.→
subliminal
This layout study transforms a passage from Subliminal into a visual meditation on human connection. Across thirty spreads, I used form to echo content—mirroring the quiet rhythms of how we relate, react, and exist alongside one another. Designed to feel like both a study and a story, the piece invites all ages to reflect on the invisible patterns that shape our lives.→
