THE ARCHIVE OF DREAMS.



BILLY BLUE COLLEGE OF DESIGN.

Publication Design, Print Production & Illustration.

THE BRIEF:


Design a visually engaging illustrative book that explores and interprets my dreams while showcasing my illustrative skills.


THE SOLUTION:


For a good chunk of time, I would fall asleep to true crime podcasts — which I later realised had heavily influenced my dreams. So, I started to write them down, collecting over 100 dreams, from which I’ve selected a few to illustrate and interpret for this book.

To make the book feel more personal and organic, I developed a typeface based on my own handwriting — this adds to the dynamic nature of the book, giving it the look and feel of a notebook or sketchbook.
