Full Book Design
📚 In my full book design projects, I craft every visual aspect of a publication—from cover, spine, and back cover to the internal illustrations that shape the rhythm of each chapter. I create custom vignettes, chapter dividers, and symbolic elements that reinforce the book’s tone and narrative.
✨ Color selection, composition, and visual coherence guide every decision, ensuring that the entire work feels unified, expressive, and meaningful. This section showcases my complete approach to book design: a balance of illustration, structure, and storytelling.

ASTROLOGY
The Retrograde Influences
In astrology, a retrograde planet refers to the apparent backward motion of a planet as observed from Earth, often linked to internalization and review. These phases invite a reassessment of habitual patterns and personal expression.
This book tries to clarify astrological retrogradation as a process of conscious transformation. By examining retrograde planets sign by sign and planet by planet, it offers a clear framework for integrating these dynamics into daily life and personal development.
