EMOJI BOOK


// typography & layout design

[Dimensions: 2.7 x 5.6 in]

The Emoji Book compiles information we would want extraterrestrial beings to know about the nature of humanity and the technology we possess, specifically our communication regarding the use of emojis. I chose to focus on communication and the use of emojis in text messages and everyday life. I created a zine with the iMessage layout to enhance the experience of the reader and make the book visually appealing.
