In this project, I reimagined Kafka’s Metamorphosis as a mini-publication relaunch for a modern audience. I expanded upon the original theme of existentialism by conveying a story of social isolation, alienation, and loss of identity.

Objective: to reimagine a classic novel for a modern day reboot, using format and visual design to enhance communication. I did so through an accordion book which folded out, naturally resembling the main character’s transformation. I used a muted colour palette and flat imagery to make the viewer feel the sense of monotony and claustrophobia within the novel.
