Linebook Project

AD105

This project explored the expressive potential of lines through a series of visual puzzles and compositions. Working across both physical and digital media, I created a book that showcases line as a fundamental design element.

Using cut paper, colored pencils, and paint, I experimented with texture, rhythm, and movement in analog form. Then, I translated these concepts digitally using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, integrating clean vector lines and layered visual effects.

The final piece is a cohesive collection that demonstrates how simple marks can convey complex ideas—bridging traditional craftsmanship with digital design thinking.

Four Triangles Puzzle

The task was to create an aesthetically pleasing piece using only four triangles. This puzzle was constructed in Illustrator and made by hand.

Four Squares Puzzle

Similar to the Four Triangles piece, but for Four Squares. Also created in Illustrator and then physically made.

Linebook: Speed

The Linebook project explored different ways to convey meaning and emotion using simple lines. This shows lines meant to represent speeds.

Linebook: Definition

The Linebook piece shows differing line volumes that still maintain image balance.

Linebook: Cover Image

Softly breaking the two dimensional barrier of the Linebook project, this cover piece was created through an experimental layering process combining watercolor and cut paper techniques. I began by applying a watercolor wash, letting the pigment pool and dry naturally to create soft gradients and fluid transitions. Once dry, I carefully cut into the surface along selected organic line forms, allowing the dark background layer to emerge through the negative space.

The result is a tactile and visual interplay between surface and shadow, line and form. The cracks and paths created by the cuts echo natural systems—like roots, rivers, or fractures—highlighting the expressive potential of lines beyond simple mark-making.
