Designing Books That Capture History

Designing Books That Capture History

Using book design to bring historical narratives into contemporary print.

Rather than making the book feel overly designed, the focus was on creating rhythm, atmosphere, and a strong sense of journey throughout the pages. Typography, pacing, imagery, and white space were all used to support the photography and historical narrative without overpowering it.

A reminder that good book design isn’t only about layouts — it’s about helping people connect with the story itself.

Some recent work on a series of book design concepts for Liu Heung Shing and his upcoming publication Old Road New Paradigm.

The project explored several visual directions for the publication — from bold graphic layouts inspired by maps, infrastructure, and global movement, to quieter archival-inspired approaches with a more timeless and documentary feel.
