Comfort Zone

Communication objective
The book is about couches. It doesn’t have to be read front to back, since it is designed for exploration. Original photography combined with stock illustration sets the mood of the book, supported by content.

I developed the text, focused around notions of comfort, in collaboration with a writer. The first form, fact, explores ideas of comfort, and the second form, fiction, tracks discomfort in a relationship between three characters: him, her, and Natalie. Fact occupies the verso, while fiction occupies the recto. Both sections are typographically distinct, yet play off each other to create a cohesive book.

Tools used
I used Adobe® Photoshop® for editing photography and Adobe InDesign® for page layout.
