From Troubled Times

Intro

From Troubled Times is a digital and literary exploration of melancholy experienced in the daily life of a modern person with depression. This project is meant to stretch my views as a designer, writer, and human being. This is as much about art and thought as it is about design.

Scope

Design Writing Art Direction

Visual Explorations

These are explorations of modern melancholy, heartbreak, and emotional disconnect.


The Book

I'm also self-publishing a book called From Troubled Times. It will include my poetry, prose, short stories, and analytical pieces—all of which deal in some way with depression, emotional disconnect, heartbreak, melancholy, and the disconnected life of modern individuals. It will be a limited run of 3 books: one for myself, one for my best friend, and one for the teacher who most influenced me during high school.

Below are some spreads of the book.

This is the book cover for From Troubled Times.
