Complement :) (Oct 2023)
for CORE 3: TOPICS with Natasha Chandani (1)(2) (FALL 2023): PROJECT #1 & 2
I was driven by the idea of the power of enhancement. Inspired by everyday objects and their ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, I explored this concept through my design of this book.
This publication takes a closer look at the intricate connection of elements, showing how even those with less innate value on their own can enhance and elevate something else, eventually improving that “something else.”
It is about the underlying relationships and the narratives, how each small, simple thing can develop and expand to become a part of an interesting story and add to a more vibrant whole. So a lot of things in our environment contributes to creating a narrative, enhancing an experience, and ultimately, making something better.
Overview of key design decisions with their influences/inspirations:
* form of publication: two books, one containing only text and the other images
* no words are used in the book containing only images and vice versa
* key design decisions, such as layout, typography, and visual elements, were meticulously chosen to amplify the message of enhancement
* each decision was influenced by the very concept that drives this project
