LEGACIES OF GRATITUDE
Transcribed Oral History + Book Design
Design a book that shares and explores a family’s oral history through the collections of stories, photographs, and genealogical records.
Project Overview
The Objective
Redesign book cover and editorial layout showcasing my rich family history.
In order to preserve the oral history and narrative elements I created a bound book with Adode Garmound for the body face to convey a solid traditional feel but still have soft round edges for its storytelling nature. The typefaces use a hierarchy with varying weights. With the design layout I used layer variations to create a generational feel and a traditional grid format to manage content. The book’s art direction oscillates between each family member using images as a point of interest.
