The Visual Identity & Design
The visual language had to mirror the book’s message—bold yet calming, minimal yet impactful. The front cover features a bright aqua tone to symbolize mental awakening and clarity, contrasted with strong, black typography that anchors the eye. The title’s composition hints at disconnection and reconnection, while the circular motifs reflect rebalance and growth. The back cover integrates a portrait of the author, inviting readers to connect personally. Clean geometric layouts, monochrome contrasts, and consistent design language across elements create a powerful, cohesive brand.

Beyond the Cover – Emotional Branding
More than just a cover, the project extends into a modular design system. Typography-based ZONE lockups at the bottom are used as visual metaphors, adaptable across digital and print collateral. Whether it’s social teasers, bookmarks, or future product extensions, the identity breathes energy and intent. This isn’t just a self-help book; it’s a lifestyle aesthetic—an open invitation to step out of autopilot and into conscious, vibrant living.
