The project was designed to mix spiritual ideas with a modern, stylish look. The goal was to share meaningful thoughts in a visually appealing way, inspiring readers to think about faith and belief. This needed a careful balance of text, images, and layout.

Design Process

1. Research & Inspiration:

I studied editorial layouts and book designs from top publications. Spiritual symbols and minimalist aesthetics influenced the overall style. Research focused on creating a balance between readability and emotional resonance.

2. Visual Hierarchy & Layout Design:

I established a clear hierarchy using typography to guide the reader’s eye effortlessly:

  • Large, bold headlines for key traits.
  • Medium subheadings for explanations.
  • Body text in a readable serif font for detailed descriptions.

The layout emphasized generous white space to convey calmness and allow readers to focus on the content.

3. Color Palette:

The palette featured neutral tones like soft whites, greys, and calming blues, punctuated by subtle gold accents for a sense of divinity and sophistication.

4. Typography:

  • Headings: Sans-serif font for a modern look.
  • Body text: Serif font for readability and a timeless feel.

5. Imagery:

  • Integrated vector illustrations, symbolic imagery, and subtle gradients to complement the text and create visual interest.

6. Interactivity:

I used flipbook animation to bring the content to life, making it more dynamic and engaging for viewers. The flipbook format not only highlights the design's creativity but also serves as an interactive way to showcase my skills in my portfolio.
