expressive booklet
The Expressive Booklet is a visually compelling and emotionally resonant creative portfolio that showcases my artistic voice, design sensibilities, and storytelling ability. This project serves as both a personal exploration and a professional presentation tool, integrating a curated selection of works across mediums such as graphic design, illustration, photography, typography, and written narrative.
Each spread in the booklet is thoughtfully designed to reflect a distinct mood or message, using color, layout, and composition as expressive tools. The booklet emphasizes individuality, authenticity, and intentionality—revealing not just what I create, but why I create.
Objectives:
Present a cohesive body of work that highlights both technical skills and personal expression
Experiment with layout, textures, and mixed media to push creative boundaries
Craft a narrative that guides viewers through different themes, emotions, or artistic phases of a Coheed & Cambria song
(example booklet)
Tools & Techniques:
Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
Hand-drawn sketches, scanned textures
Personal photography and writing
Print and/or digital formats depending on use case
Outcome:
A finished booklet (digital and/or print) that tells a story through design—capturing both creative range and unique perspective. It acts as a signature piece that reflects both craft and character.
Using typography, color, imagery, and layout, the booklet captures the mood, themes, and emotional tone of the music. Each page reflects a personal and artistic response to the song, blending design and storytelling to create a cohesive, expressive narrative. The project highlights both technical design skills and the ability to translate sound into visual form.
