• Classic Typography & Typesetting: Designed a vintage chapter opener layout with an ornate drop cap (‘A’), classic serif text styling, and decorative section dividers printed on aged parchment paper texture[cite: 23].
• Editorial Book Presentation: Styled high-resolution product photography featuring the open physical book alongside traditional watercolor palettes, brushes, and binding ribbons for portfolio display[cite: 23].
