Objective/
Capture your daily routine and craft a 32-page book encapsulating a central theme inspired by your everyday experiences. Utilize typography as the primary visual tool to evoke and convey emotions effectively.

Approach/
This journal documents my weekly routine and the ups and downs of my final semester at grad school. Alongside the pressures of coursework, coping with a severe eye condition has significantly heightened my overall anxiety. I used blue and yellow hues to symbolize my positive and negative moods respectively. The use of distorted typography and torn-edge textures conveys feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Illustrative lines further depict varying levels of anxiety throughout the entries.
