MOOD BOARD
I initiated my project by exploring things that have a calming effect on people. Gradients, especially the way they influence the human brain, caught my attention. To bring this idea to life, I gathered various items from around my house to create monochromatic compositions. While brainstorming, I also experimented with visuals inspired by soothing scenes like beaches and greenery. Eventually, I settled on a tranquil pastel rainbow theme for the project.

BOOK COVER
The cover is crafted to unveil the adventure awaiting readers as they open the book. Mirroring the feeling of being surrounded by darkness, the cover captures a figure in the shadows. Opening the book is akin to brightening one's day, and the silhouette of the person serves as a cutout, symbolizing the transformative journey within.
