Revision Artist Book: Navigation is a 1/1, completely self-produced hardbound artist book that shifts the Revision series from traditional editorial magazine format into a tactile, philosophical object. Centered around a deeply personal narrative on navigating life through a series of guiding questions, the 16 page book pairs original writing with intricate, high-contrast black-and-white digital collages across every spread.


To deliver a truly singular reader experience, I designed, printed, and hand-bound the entire volume, finishing the hard cover and spine with custom laser engraving.

Research

I investigated traditional bookbinding structures and editorial layouts while exploring historical artist books and philosophical texts. I prototyped various material combinations and tested laser-engraving settings on hardbound cover stock to ensure high-contrast detail without compromising structural integrity.

Deliverables

The project resulted in a unique 1/1 hardbound artist book featuring original written prose, custom black-and-white collage spreads, and a hand-crafted cover with laser-engraved typography and graphics on the front, spine, and back.

Impact

This project pushed my practice beyond graphic design into tactile production, material experimentation, and physical craftsmanship. Controlling every single phase—from editorial content and collage work to manual binding and precision laser fabrication—resulted in a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind art piece.
