Designed an original literary poetry paperback concept featuring an elegant typographic cover, refined editorial typography, and thoughtfully composed interior pages. The design explores the relationship between poetry and pencil illustration through a quiet, understated visual language, balancing generous white space with expressive artwork.
The interior uses an alternating layout rhythm, allowing selected poems to stand alone while pairing others with illustrations to create a natural reading experience. The project focuses on visual storytelling, typographic hierarchy, consistency, and professional print layout principles, with a design direction suitable for a collection of approximately 30 poems and 30 pencil illustrations.
