The Honest Mirror of Privilege
publication design

This hand bound hardcover book features the article Looking in the Honest Mirror of Privilege. This poignant article challenges white feminism and its lack of intersectionality. The elegant design features a rich typographic system, indexical photography, & balanced but diverse pacing.

The monochromatic color palette subverts well known gender stereotypes that associate women with weakness (pink) and men with strength (blue). Lengthy footnotes provided a unique opportunity to create typographic texture, hierarchy, and variation throughout each page.

The grid system was built to be versatile and flexible, providing opportunities for a plethora of layout options including full page or full spread copy and photography callouts, quote treatments, asymmetrical spreads and more. Negative space is used to lead the eye through the book, creating an organic pacing that seamlessly leads the viewer from page to page.
