Book of Alexanswers
September 2023
A weekly planner, a scrapbook, and a book of answers.
This project was a birthday gift for my roommate, as a way to combat her lonliness while our friends were studying abroad.
It is a collection of heartfelt notes from our friends integrated in a weekly planner. Many of the designs were left ambiguous (without labels) to encourage unrestricted usage as a scrapbook.
