Editorial book design for @rowrowlearn, which has over 70k organic followers ✨
When the author reached out to me for the book's layout design - she said that she doesn't what another off-the-shelf educational book. Good design and aesthetics mattered to her as much as the content of the book.
It was a very interesting project to work on - the editorial design was about creating a consistent visual language across longer-form text & explanations to data, illustrations, diagrams, while still giving each section and type of content its own rhythm.
Here are a few pages from the final publication.
Case Study.
#Book Design #LayoutDesign #Minimal Design
Holding one visual language across prose, data and illustration usually breaks at the diagrams - they want their own scale and the text grid rarely stretches that far. Did you build the layout around the diagrams and let the running text fall in, or the other way round?
Yes, all the diagrams, flowcharts and illustrations were finalised first. We even decided to have a dedicated space for writing notes between chapters, early on. So the text was actually the last thing to fall into place.

New kitchen render set is live 🏡
This one was fun - a transitional kitchen with a waterfall island, brass hood, and full stone backsplash. The brief was simple but the pressure wasn't: the client needed to fall in love with a space that didn't exist yet.
That's the real job in architectural visualization. Not "make it pretty" - make it believable enough that nobody hesitates before construction starts.
