How to be Content (Part 2)
Book | 2013
Do less for a better world.
Overview
This is a student project for one of my design classes in college:
Develop a solution which clearly communicates the “How to” process of doing less for a better world. The work must suggest the individual hand or the existence of the designer.
See Part 1 of the project where I transformed the same steps into an interactive pamphlet.
The Problem
We live in a time of abundance, but why are we still dissatisfied with what we have? I believe by decreasing our desires and attachment to material goods can we truly free ourselves from the prison we created in our minds and help us obtain inner peace.
The Solution: A Story Book
History has proven how powerful illustrations can be when it comes planting ideas into someone's mind. To effectively help those in need, I created a story book that utilized the power of illustration to invite the readers on a journey toward contentment.
The Book
Why are the Characters so Abstract?
If you look closely, you’ll notice that you are not able to identify the age, ethnicity, gender, or social status of the characters from the drawing. The intention is to help the readers to project themselves to the characters in the story, so they are able to go on a journey with the characters.
