15 Jan 2026 · Dressing Poetics Editorial Design Case Study

In this video, I share the editorial project I developed for Dr. Alexandra Ovtchinnikova, author of Dressing Poetics. Her doctoral research inspired a rich visual narrative, bringing together analysis, references, and reflections in a design that honors the films and authors she studied. It was a true privilege to collaborate on this project.

This video focuses on the thinking process, design decisions, and collaboration behind the book, rather than a step-by-step walkthrough of specifications. You can explore the full case study and purchase the book via the links below.
