Academic project

I'm always behind the camera, rarely in the photos. I wanted to show who I am through those around me.

Brief

Editorial design assignment: a micro-publication made from the last photos on my phone's camera roll, using only two A4 sheets, unbound and made for home printing.

Concept

I'm a reflection of the people I'm with. That's why I barely appear in Día: they do, in photos from my phone's camera roll. The only photo I'm in was taken by an Amazon courier delivering a package. I wanted to tell an ordinary day as it is, honestly.

Development

There are three spreads. The first gathers things that happen on an ordinary day. The centre one falls open on its own when the paper is folded, so I filled it entirely. The last brings my friends and family together in a grid. I lettered the title in ink, by hand, for its texture and to leave a mark.
