Septem was a 170 page A5 booklet I created as my end of year project in second year. Its the most substantial bit of work I’ve ever created, and led me towards my love of editorial design. I based a lot of it around latin and the original meanings of each sin; Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, lust, Envy, & Gluttony. Each section is deliberitely hard-hitting, with some spreads in Wrath for example demonstrating pure gore & mass genocide, and Lust being seen as pure nudity, poetry & sex.
My only set-back with this project was cost; I initally wanted to have each section printed on different material - For example, having Wrath printed on leather with real blood soaked into the pages, Greed printing on money, and Lust printed on skin or felt. There was no possible way I could’ve achieved this with my current budget, so I seperated each section through colour schemes instead.
