This experience has not only allowed me to grow as a designer but also as a collaborator and communicator within a diverse and dynamic team. It's been a fulfilling journey, helping visually convey our mission and promote transparency and connection with our community.

Projects

Designing the Codex Vaticanus Thesis book cover was an exciting and collaborative endeavour. The author's goal was to visually narrate the 350-year scholarly journey within the thesis.

We started by delving into the historical context and the central themes. The design aimed to seamlessly blend the past and the present, symbolising the ever-evolving scholarly understanding of the Codex Vaticanus.

Crucial to the process was constant collaboration with the author, who provided invaluable insights and feedback. We shared drafts and exchanged ideas, making sure the final design accurately mirrored their vision.

The end result is a cover that conveys the manuscript's historical significance and its transformation over time. It transitions from classical sepia tones, representing the manuscript's origins, to a window that overlooks the history of the river.

The project culminated with the delivery of meticulously prepared print-ready files, ensuring a smooth transition from digital design to a tangible book cover. This cover is more than just an image; it's a gateway to a fascinating 350-year scholarly voyage.
