Botany of Desire - Limited Edition Book

Bookbinding, illustration, editorial design

I designed every part of the book, from the interior text and typography elements to the illustrations and the exterior binding. I created a double page spread, front matter and illustrations for chapter headings that went through multiple rounds of critiques. I printed all the pages and folded, nested and sewed them to create a book block. After trimming the book block, I glued it into the handmade casing with end-sheets printed on both sides with a pattern that I hand-drew, digitized, and colored in Adobe Illustrator.
