THE ELEMENT OF

Propriety

APPROACH

For this project, we were asked to choose one episode from the podcast series This American Life and design a book based on it. The episode I chose is called The six things you’re not supposed to talk about. There are six stories based on the six topics raised in the podcast episode, so I made a custom-bound book, combining six saddle stitch booklets. To convey the idea of different topics. I used different color palettes for each book and but kept the cover black and white. In addition, I used contrasting colors and symbolic elements for the book.
