'Team Of Artistry' type treatment, a European nod to the 1996 Spice Girls debut album SPICE, to resonate with a nostalgic audience familiar with 90s pop culture.

The book's cover intentionally sets up a visual surprise, so that the reader is met with a striking and bold red aesthetic upon opening.

BEHIND THE LOOK

Designed a storytelling chapter for each look, detailing the model's transformation—covering makeup, hair, and styling—offering an inviting glimpse into the journey from concept to the final, radiant look.

Wanderlust Universe

Faced with the challenge of increasing the Wanderlust book's page count, I developed a creative solution: incorporating product advertisements that felt native to the book's design. By styling the ads within the magical red-and-black Wanderlust universe, I ensured they enhanced, rather than detracted from, the overall narrative.
