Interactive e-book and print-ready version about LGBTQ+ flags and orientations

Interactive e-book and print-ready version about LGBTQ+ flags and orientations

I made an interactive LGBTQ+ e-book with InDesign, including a live table of contents, as well as a print-ready version. I created decorative monograms in Illustrator of each initial of the LGBTQ+ acronym (plus some) and designed layouts with skyscapes echoing the colours of their respective flags.

I found photos already close to the colours needed, and then edited them in Photoshop to match the precise hues required.

My goal was to create a book that appealed to a broad audience. Educational for those who might not know about different orientations or their colours, yet still a visual delight to go through for those that already do.
