Book Design

This book is an in-depth exploration of typographic nomenclature and its application to live copy, grid systems, and complex hierarchy. Composition is explored, from simple to complex text type, as an avenue for expressive typography to tell a story. It tells the journey of a Korean-American struggling to find their own identity in America as they navigate through the many cultures which surrounds them.

​

The focus of this project was to be able to communicate Korean to a non-Korean speaker as the book's main target audience were to be English speakers who have little to no knowledge of Korean. This was achieved by contrasting pages which "translated" the previous page using images or typography.
