The Brief
As part of the Shared Campus course, we were asked to choose a topic that interested us both conceptually and visually, and to develop a complete monograph around it. The monograph was required to include diverse content such as a poem, a guide, two opinion columns, a feature article, an interview, and a photography project all tied together through a cohesive visual language. The aim was to create a printed publication that tells a complete story, integrating content and design in an engaging and consistent way.
The Idea & The Outcome
I chose to focus on the world of superstitions and explore them from an unexpected perspective. My aim was to present as broad a variety as possible, showing superstitions from different cultures, countries, and traditions, and to examine their influence on us both in the past and today. From this research, a monograph was developed through a cohesive visual language that highlights the tension between the mysterious and the familiar. I combined black-and-white photography with bold, unexpected colors to create contrast, and paired expressive, rough typography with a classic, elegant font. The result is a visual-textual journey that portrays superstitions not merely as strange habits, but as a cultural phenomenon that connects, influences, and continues to surprise.
