The core of the book was the idea of "Play" which I wanted to reflect in the spot color choice. The goal was something bright and attention-grabbing that would leave an impact. To balance the heaviness of the solid hot pink shapes, I mimicked the composition of the text or image on the opposite page of the spread.

I played with the negative and positive space using the layout of the content, typography, spacing, and graphic page numbers. I wanted an additional graphic element to create movement and engage readers which is why I then added page numbers that pop off the page. I emphasized balance through symmetry or lack thereof. Through consistency of type and layout, I ensured the pages individually looked like they belonged in the same book.
