I was given the opportunity to do the layout of a book that was self-published by its author. The book entitled "Colour by Dorai" contained a collection of more than 100 poems, pieces of prose, and anecdotes. The process of laying out the contents of the book needed to be completed in a week so that the author could print and release the book in time for her birthday.

One of the unique challenges of creating the layout for the book was that the author included notes of her writings, so I needed to find a way to differentiate them from the pieces she had written without pulling focus from the writings themselves.
