In "My Flavors – A Life in Book," I explored the unique concept of books being the flavors of life, each with its distinct taste and lasting impressions. As a part of the Graphic Design MFA program at MICA, this booklet is a testament to the influence of books on my perspective, embodying the diverse qualities they bring to life.
This project is part of a collection of short books about books, developed under the mentorship of Ellen Lupton. The print and digital versions of "My Flavors – A Life in Book" have been featured in Ellen Lupton's "Type on Screen" (2014), showcasing the project's recognition and impact in the design community.
