Parallel diary


This is my graduation project, the concept and design of which I developed as part 
of the master's program at the HSE Art and Design School. 

On the pages of this book there are 6 heroes who lived at different times in our country. The text of the book is fragments of their diaries. The reader gets acquainted with 
the notes of the heroes from 1900 to 2020 on similar topics, plunging into the history 
of the country through a first-person narrative. The parallelism of the notes allows us 
to draw analogies with the present day, to feel the cyclical nature of history 
and the interrelation of times.

The names of the heroes are rendered as column elements, each hero has its 
own column. There are 3 types of layout in the publication, each of which corresponds 
to the topic of its section. 
1 — mobile: this type of layout is applied to the most lively, personal sections. Unlike the traditional two-column layout, this type of layout has a third column in the middle. The notes of one of the characters "push out" the text of the other, creating the feeling that each author seeks to be the first to share the story. 
2 — static: this is how more "business" sections are designed. Each character has its own column, all 6 texts are located side by side.
3 — inverted: created for the section, where the characters talk about their inner life, 
and not about the events happening around them, to emphasize this, the layout is literally turned over. 
Inside each of the sections there are large quotes with the most significant fragments of notes. At the end of each section there are photo albums, to which 
we are referred by small images inside the layout itself. The titles are designed as collages of images belonging to different eras.
