Brief
In this book design project, I have created the layout and cover for a collection of five short stories that delve into the themes of birth, death, self-discovery, and loss. Each story explores the complexities of human emotions, often entwined with confusion and fragmentation.
In this book design project, I have created the layout and cover for a collection of five short stories that delve into the themes of birth, death, self-discovery, and loss. Each story explores the complexities of human emotions, often entwined with confusion and fragmentation.
The first story, titled "Names," follows a writer who loses himself in the people he observes on the street, forgetting his own identity. The second story narrates the lives of two couples searching for meaning in their intertwined existence, where connection becomes a necessity. As the four individuals transform into two and then into a composite name, the narrative takes on a new dimension. The third story focuses on the conception of a fetus, capturing the enigmatic moment where life converges at a single point, shrouded in suspicion. The fourth story tells the tale of twins, one born with a name while the other contemplates non-existence. The fifth story remains untitled on the cover, leaving a sense of mystery and anticipation.
Design Approach
For this project, I have focused on creating a modest yet thoughtful design that visually represents the depth and complexity of each story. The layout and cover elements have been carefully selected to evoke the emotional journey experienced by the characters, inviting readers to explore the profound themes within.
