3 Things I Have Learned

  1. Slow down and live
  2. Lose yourself to find yourself
  3. There's more than one side

Inspired by Stefan Sagmeister’s experimental typography and his publication “Things I have learned in my life so far,” these pieces of unconventional typography feature three things I have learned so far from life.

The project comprises of three main images and three supplementary booklets that show insight into the process and meaning of each life lesson

Lesson Number One: Slow down and live

Lesson Number Three: There’s more than one side

The booklet shows in-progress shots, how a partition wall aids the meaning and experience of the quote, and uses pages to mimic dividers, exemplifying how more than one side is needed to see and understand the whole story
