Forty Journal

Designed as a study journal to use in the run up to Lent. The goal of the journal was to help the reader, strip back, slow down and step into the story of Jonah; an ancient tale of running, wrestling, and rediscovering God in the most unexpected places.

I used a colour palette of muted neutrals and shades of blue which helped to increase the calming, slowed-down feel of the season and nod to the nautical themes in the story of Jonah. I decided to include some hand drawn illustrations throughout the journal to mark feasts days and introduce new topics. These were created in a way to mimic wood block printing giving a traditional and grounded feel. The journal needed to be typeset to allow the user space for their own creations, whether that be written or drawn.
