The Art of Order
The Art of Order
I asked myself a plethra of questions on the intetions of the planner. Is the intended outcome increased productivity? Was it relief? Inspiration? This planner is a hub for people in creative careers to keep track of their personal events, tasks, and goals while also having space to write down deadlines, client requests, sketch out ideas, and provide inspiraiton when needed.

I started with creating a basic visual identity to guide the design of each spread and ensure the planner is cohesive. I explored how to navigate the balance between structured layout and the spontaneity that creative professionals and students desire. I worried that the pages felt too minimal or underdesigned, so I incorporated inspirational elements like images, shapes, and stickers to spark creativity and customize the planner.
I also designed informational and reference pages tailored specifically to graphic design careers, adding practical value. To make the planner more interactive, I included perforated sections such as detachable notes and grocery lists and a large fold out yearly overview.

I brought the project to life through hand binding the final printed planner using a multi-section hard cover case binding technique. I hand binded the book to challange myself and my skills in print making. For the exhibit, I wanted to create a tactile, immersive display that was inviting for viewers to engage with the planner.
