Tornado Prom

The objective of this project was to design a book cover for a story from the podcast This American Life while avoiding the common contemporary book design trends. I chose the story of Tornado Prom, in which a small-town senior high school class was stuck in their prom venue during a tornado.

Overview

A creative book cover design for Tornado Prom that balances chaos and nostalgia through montage-style collage. Inspired by early 2000s teen aesthetics, the design merges prom imagery with visual storytelling. Textures were created using found materials, like glitter made from makeup, the road made from paper, and the crown from gold reflective packaging. The sash title layout guides the eye naturally toward other elements. The result blends tactile experimentation with digital precision for a playful yet evocative visual identity.

Museum of Everyday Things

The objective of this project was to design a brochure for a museum exhibit featuring my favorite pair of shoes, the New Balance Fresh Foam 680 v8. The design goal was to use photography as the main design element.

Overview

A tri-fold brochure concept for a museum collecting everyday objects. The design communicates comfort visually. Soft textures, cloud imagery, and close-up photography evoke the feeling of walking on air. A cohesive color palette and dynamic, asymmetrical layout guide the viewer naturally through the content, reflecting simplicity, clarity, and conceptual depth.
