The client for this project was Canadore College. Although it was created within an academic setting, I approached the booklet as a professional design piece, treating Canadore as the client and developing it as a polished publication that could also work as a portfolio project. This gave me the opportunity to create something clean, minimal, and visually refined while showing my ability to handle layout, typography, image-making, and print-based design in a professional way.

Project overview
This project focused on designing an eight-page full-colour booklet called Spatial Flow, built around the idea of abstract geometry, movement, and controlled minimalism. I wanted the booklet to feel calm, intentional, and visually connected from spread to spread, using simple forms, curved lines, soft colour, and negative space to create rhythm and guide the eye through the layout. Rather than relying on heavy content, the project explored how shape, spacing, proportion, and typography could work together to create a cohesive visual system that felt both refined and portfolio-ready.
Challenges
One of the biggest challenges in this project was keeping the booklet minimal and quiet while still making every spread feel visually engaging and connected. Because the design relied on abstract geometry, spacing, and subtle shifts in alignment, I had to be very careful not to let the layouts become either too empty or too cluttered. Another challenge was making the shapes, typography, and text work together in a way that felt intentional, especially since I wanted the text to sit naturally within the composition rather than overpower it. Maintaining rhythm from page to page was also important, so I spent a lot of time refining balance, negative space, colour restraint, and overall flow to make sure the booklet felt cohesive from beginning to end.
Results
The final result was a clean and cohesive booklet that successfully translated the idea of Spatial Flow into a polished multi-page publication. I was able to create a design that felt calm, minimal, and visually connected from spread to spread, using abstract geometry, restrained colour, and careful spacing to guide the viewer through the booklet in a subtle but intentional way. The project was successful because it balanced experimentation with structure, allowing me to show strong control over layout, typography, rhythm, and page-to-page consistency while producing a final piece that felt refined, professional, and portfolio-ready.
