Print Piece

The print publication for this project comes in the form of a coffee table book. The book features a minimalistic style utilizing prominent white space and simple layout. This tasteful simplicity creates an easy experience for the reader that not only serves to educate and inform them with the content, but provides a sense of calm amidst all the clutter through the design.

Digital App

The app has a simple layout and easy to follow features. The first action on the home page is a prompt to take a five minute break—the purpose of the whole concept. The whole app is designed with the intention of streamlining and assisting the user in their daily breaks, and providing tips, tools, and reminders to increase focus.
