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.
finally, i risographed dark blue ink on pale pink cardstock and crafted a beautiful publication commenting on girlhood and womanhood.
