Textures: A Guide to Boston

Book Design | Northeastern University | Nov 2021

I designed this book for my Design, Process, Context, and Systems class with professor Jose Menendez. I was tasked with creating a guide to Boston, and I decided to focus on the physical and visual textures found throughout the city. I walked around all of Boston's major neighborhoods and took photos of textures that caught my eye. The spreads shown above are a selection of some of my favorites. Through designing this book, I learned a lot about how to create layouts that are dynamic and how to create and follow a consistent design system.
