A modern take on 1 John blends artistic design with scripture for a reflective reading experience.
The '1 John Book Senior Capstone' project from Drexel University presents a modern interpretation of the biblical book 1 John, merging readability with artistic expression. This 24-page publication showcases custom watercolor artwork, expressive mark-making, and geometric elements, all thoughtfully integrated with a diverse mix of typefaces. Each layout and illustration draws inspiration from specific passages, highlighting key verses alongside abstract visuals that resonate with the text's tone and message. The design invites readers to engage deeply with the scripture, creating a reflective experience that balances the sacred and the contemporary.
