About
Design Virtues + Virtues of self-regulation. Traditionally, self-help books and psychology-related texts are primarily known to be harsh, dense, text-heavy reads. Design Virtues by Bruno Mari is an excerpt that focuses on explaining design principles. whereas The Virtues of self regulation is a psychology-based self-help book focusing on self improvement. I wanted to encourage playfulness in my design, so balancing play and simplicity was important.

Design Virtues and Virtues of Self-Regulation
Purpose
An ironic design, as the text is educational and focused on a subject almost entirely different than what we would assume it to be based on style alone. Through playful sentence illustrations, irregular typography, and the central question—how can we convey complex concepts in an easily digestible way?
