Book about the vast, unknown beauty of space.

While studying abroad in Central Saint Martins school of design, I continued this 96 page book about the past, present, and future of space exploration and wonder. I experimented with fabric textures from the CSM special textures library and assembled writings and conducted my own written interviews.

Book maps

These final versions of the book were created in three versions: 120 pages, 150 pages, and the 92 page version that ended up being the final form.

Board planning and iterations

Thanks to this project, I've developed a process where I meticulously document and plan each step of the way. A calendar with deadlines, chapter sourcing compilations, and so much more were kept track of on Milanote.

Assembling the final product

Collaborating with book-making experts at Central Saint Martins, I learned how to french press a book by hand. We spent a great amount of time deciding on page thickness and covers as a true labor of love.
