Siddhartha

“Siddhartha,” authored by Hermann Hesse in 1922, served as the inspiration for this project. The brief called for the creation of a limited edition of prints for the book, encompassing a dust jacket, soft cover, and fully annotated book, intended to retail for $25 or more. I chose to accentuate the theme of inner peace and the journey of self-discovery undertaken by the protagonist in my design approach. Consequently, the die-cut characters symbolize the connection between the outer world and inner self, while the fragmented words convey the complexity of emotions experienced during the quest for answers from within.
