Booklet Editorial Design

Student Work

PROJECT

This project challenged me to create a cultural booklet, geared towards tourists, that revolves around a developing country. I chose Morocco as the center of this project. The booklet touches on select locations, food, and
clothing of Morocco.

THEME

I decided to introduce the country through
its medinas, which are the historical towns consisting of Morocco’s famous markets, Mosques, fountains, Hammans, and palaces. The book is called "The Medinas or Morocco."

COMPOSITION

The composition of the tiles resemble the alleyways of the medinas. The winding alleyways, stalls, and rooms made up of tiles are a common theme throughout the book. The type is also working around and interacting with the illustrations.

THE ZELLIJ (MOROCCAN TILES)

All of the illustrations in the book are tiles, based on Morocco’s Zellij that are usually displayed throughout the medinas. These illustrations have a simplified and modern style, with thin strokes and flat colors. For each topic, the tiles are made up of icons based on what the topic covers.
