This year, I worked on the layout and design polish of Demon-Bone Sarcophagus, a book for a custom Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
These were the three main project requirements:
Navigability: The book had to be easily navigated via clear headings, color-coded sections, and a navigation bar.
Legibility: The pages were to have as much information as can be coherently managed, with tables, maps, stats, and illustrations integrated into the layout.

Personality: The use of fonts, background textures, and other design elements had to give the book a unique colorful look.
Below you can see some spreads from the book, as well as one of the maps I illustrated for the campaign.
