Role: book design, layout design, creative direction

Tools: Adobe InDesign

This project was a chaotic labor of love. When I was told to design an entire book based on 15 books I’ve read, the first challenge was remembering 15 books I’ve actually read. I never really loved reading, but I did love the unhinged moments tucked into those stories. so that’s what I ran with.

oops! all chaos! has a children’s book inspired design that rates each story on a custom chaos scale, with texture doing the heavy lifting. The more chaotic the plot, the more the pages spiral visually.

Also, every page is narrated with a healthy dose of sass and snark because chaos deserves commentary. It’s dramatic and it’s perfectly representative of me.
