Book Design:


  science pioneers  



This book cover reframes the legacy of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar—astrophysicist, theorist of stellar collapse, and Nobel laureate—through a bold, contemporary visual language. Positioned at the intersection of science and abstraction, the design trades textbook austerity for emotional resonance: saturated color fields, gestural brushwork, and typographic layering echo the vast, volatile forces that define Chandrasekhar’s research.

      infinite.  






    Infinite
    is a typographic exploration of nonlinear time, inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Anchored in the novel’s disjointed narrative structure, the project reimagines the act of reading as an experience untethered from chronology—where past, present, and future fold into one another.

    Using direct quotations and associative language, the book distills themes of fatalism, memory, and existential repetition into a visual system that loops, disrupts, and reorients. The design leans into fragmentation and recursion, allowing typography to function as both content and form. The result is a reading experience that mirrors the protagonist’s unstuck relationship with time—cyclical, unstable, and quietly absurd.
