THE RAVEN

I designed a chapbook based on The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, drawn to its themes of mystery, darkness, and the haunting repetition of “Nevermore.” Using Adobe InDesign, I developed master pages and a cohesive system of paragraph, character, and object styles, experimenting with hierarchy, typography, and layout.

A purple spot color was chosen to reflect emotions like sadness and loss. My goal was to create a visually compelling piece that captures the poem’s mood and connects with readers, with particular focus on crafting an engaging cover as the book’s first impression.
