Project Overview
ECLECTIC 58 was created for a graduating class of 58 pharmacy students. The term “eclectic” means combining different parts to form a whole—this idea became the heart of the design. The symbol for "58" was built using unique shapes, each representing unity in diversity.
I was tasked with building a full design system and visual language that celebrated individuality while keeping a clean, unified look. This meant making every page feel modern, personal, and easy to navigate—while still being memorable and print-ready.

Summary
This wasn’t just a yearbook—it was a storytelling magazine. Each page showcases the students' unique journeys, professional dreams, and personal vibes.
Blue tones were used throughout the book to give it a fresh, calm, and professional feel, while the typography and layout added a modern twist. Every element—fonts, photos, shapes—was chosen to tell the class’s story in a bold, yet respectful way.
