The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray — Editorial Redesign
The Picture of Dorian Gray is an editorial design system reimagining Oscar Wilde’s novel through cover design, interior layout, and a series of illustrated chapter motifs. The project focuses on visual storytelling through typographic structure and symbolic illustration. Each chapter features a morphing floral illustration system, where specific flowers are used to represent character development, emotional tone, and underlying themes of desire, identity, and concealment. This visual language draws from Victorian-era floral symbolism, where flowers functioned as both decorative elements and coded communication. The type system uses Baskerville for its balance of classical structure and modern readability, reinforcing the tension between restraint and expression present in the narrative.
