Book Designs

As one of my biggest projects, I set out to create a pop-up interactive book about food culture. I used paragraph and character stylesheets in Adobe InDesign to keep fonts and colors consistency. This project provided me with valuable insights into the connection between flat and 3D designs, book layout formatting, and color coordination. I'd say this project was one of the most challenging, yet fun way to learn "paper engineering" skills.

Standard Book Design

One of my book projects showcases standard book formatting created in Adobe InDesign. I designed the book cover, including the spine, to create a continuous landscape when the book is opened. In the document, I used facing pages with accurate margin and bleed sizes to avoid overlapping into the internal spine of the book when printed. I chose left-aligned justified paragraphs and a leading size to make it convenient for readers to read between the lines. My goal was to use strong, engaging words to capture readers' attention and keep them engaged with the book.
