TYPOGRAPHY
Fruits Creative commissioned me to design the layout for an interactive Christian self-help book centered on living a life fully surrendered to Jesus Christ. The book invites readers to jump in and engage, with note spaces after each section, scannable QR codes for extra content, and a few spots where you can color in verses along the way. The book’s visual objective was to convey a playful, handcrafted, and whimsical appeal. The selected typefaces supported this vision by remaining open, hand-drawn, and legible.
To accommodate both the text and accompanying illustrations, I established a seven-row grid system. The primary content typically occupies six rows, while the seventh row is primarily reserved for scripture references. This approach ensured a clean, organized structure that maintained visual consistency throughout the book.
