Hey what’s up, it’s Christine here, and I’m a designer and illustrator based in Brooklyn. Growing up in New Jersey, I spent so much time in cars, looking out of backseat windows. I saw family pool parties in backyards, strip mall signs clashing with colors and text, line cooks smoking outside of neon-lit diners, houses built in every style imaginable, the New York City skyline, and miles and miles of trees.

    The Book of Sand
    Publication Design
    2023

    The Book of Sand is a short story written by Jorge Luis Borges that follows a man who acquires a mysterious, infinite book with never-ending pages. The book’s “monstrous" nature shifts from a source of wonder to a terrifying obsession where the narrator gradually falls into insanity. 

    Inspired by expressive typography, I challenged myself to convey the emotional turmoil the narrator experiences through only type and a grayscale color palette. 

    Type set in TT Rationalist.
