Eclipsed Memories

“Is the past a recollection of memories?”

—Duration: 3 months
—Scope: Editorial Design
—Tools: InDesign, Illustrator

Eclipsed Memories is a book that explores the past—its people, places, and the enduring will to live. Through a play, poems, music, photography, and illustrations, it captures the site's tranquil atmosphere and overarching themes.

Process

System Establishment

In the initial design, I used a four-column grid with a centered, thin text block for a classical feel without strict novel-like rules. Later, to optimize space, the text shifted toward the edge, columns were reduced, and the grid refined for varied content.

Cover & Slipcase Design

The cover design began with fragmented letters to reflect memory’s disjointed nature but evolved into a more poetic eclipsed moon. The slipcase mirrors this design, revealing the moon in different phases.
