O.C.D
The outcome is a type-base book exploring the topic in a visually storytelling; with the use of Typography Design.​​ With the story being about O.C.D - the outcome became something that was telling the story for those outside of the community. It was made in the hopes that a better understanding would be created on the invisible struggles of those who obtain O.C.D or have a close person who does.​​​​​​​
Breaking down the text into small pieces of writing highlights and better explores the story that was being told. The use of concrete poetry helped to create a visual representation without the need to use imagery. I tried to create a very slow, but detailed pace to the book. Trying to intertwine as well the scientific side to the topic.​
The use of paper and weight was purposely placed, to trigger a feel of fragility by touch and a translucency that made certain pages blend with each other. The final outcome becomes a combination of the sterile paper, with a human touch and some-what imperfectness to the editing of the text.​​​​​​​
