NOTES FROM AMERICA

OVERVIEW
Notes From America is a fun editorial piece designed for Will as his passion project, intended as a Christmas gift for his family and friends. Taking inspiration from "The Christmas Cracker" by John Julius Norwich, Notes From America features a compilation of interesting articles, poems, and social media posts Will has come across, paired with his thoughts on them, written in his distinctive handwriting.

the process
To kick off the project, I created a mood board with visual inspirations to establish the look and feel of the book. Here are the key design elements:

Handwritten Fonts: Since the project revolves around notes, poetry, and personal reflections, Will's own handwriting are used throughout the book to add a personal touch.

Illustrations: Marker-drawing styled illustrations are incorporated to give a quirky, contemporary feel, complementing the wit and humor of the content.

Full-Bleed Coloured Pages: To enhance the reading experience, especially on text-heavy pages, a few full-bleed coloured pages are included.

These design choices ensure the booklet is both personal and engaging, making it a memorable gift for Will's loved ones.
