DESIGN CONCEPT

"Independent yet Shining"

In designing the visual identity for the Other Islands Book Fair, I envisioned a fusion of distinct yet interconnected islands within the familiar form of a book, symbolizing the vibrant and resilient spirit of independent publishing. This concept, "Independent yet Shining," highlights the uniqueness of each element - be it a book, author, or publisher - and their collective brilliance within the community. The diverse islands, varying in content and form yet united in purpose, reflect the fair's dedication to showcasing a spectrum of voices and perspectives. This poster is not just a visual representation but a vivid narrative in itself. Every part matters and we together make it happen.
