02 LIVING With DISORDER
PRINT, TYPOGRAGHY, SYSTEMS, ILLUSTRATION, EDITORIAL DESIGNThis book was a double tiered task- the development of content required both illustrations and typography. A group of young adults was asked to respond to the question, “What does living a good life look like to you?” Using the answers, I created a series of illustrations inspired by each response. This was an interesting exercise in translating verbal information into visual representations. The target audience was the same demographic as interviewed- young adults. The goal was to show others struggling with mental illness that they weren’t alone in their troubles and a happier life was possible. The biggest challenge I faced was the fast deadline. It forced me to be really efficient in decision making. I had to focus on the big picture instead of getting caught up in the small details and losing touch with the main idea. Thanks to this project, I got a new appreciation for the design industry’s fast paced environment. It was exciting to be able to marry my passions for illustration and typography. This publication set a nice groundwork for my future projects to expand upon.
