the girls’ guide to growing up


(2023)

the goal of this project was to design an existing text. i chose a book that is widely known amongst girls called “the girls’ guide to growing up”. there are several topics that this guide discusses including boys, friendships, how to handle parents’ divorce, and what to expect with your growing body.

i extracted the parts that are still relevant to adults today including knowing yourself, how to deal with sexual harassment, and a guide to friendship. i surrounded the existing words with old iconic paintings to update the design and reference exactly what is happening in the text.

i risographed dark blue ink on pale pink cardstock.
