Design a typographic publication to celebrate stitching lines and mending techniques for repairing old garments as a response to the ISTD brief - The Line.
Solution
The format of the booklet draws inspiration from a common mending technique –patching, through gathering different colour papers with varying textures to resemble the patchwork. The pages are intentionally designed in different sizes, and some texts are covered by smaller pages, creating a layered reading experience. The publication includes insights from menders, explanations of mending techniques, stitching patterns, and stories behind the mended garments.
