Yomi @ 40
Description
To celebrate Yomi's 40th, I had the pleasure of designing a personalized brochure for him. The goal was to create something that felt less like a traditional brochure and more like a heartfelt tribute — a visual journey through his life’s milestones, passions, and dreams. The design process started with selecting a warm, inviting color palette that reflected both maturity and vibrancy — deep blues, rich golds, and subtle earth tones. Typography was kept elegant but modern using Bodoni - striking a balance between classic celebration and contemporary style. Each section of the brochure was carefully laid out to tell a story: childhood memories, major career achievements, favorite travels, family highlights, and personal reflections. Although some of the pages were left out in this casestudy. Photography played a central role in bringing the project to life. We curated a collection of candid and professional photos. What made the photography especially interesting was the diversity of moments captured — everything from grainy, nostalgic shots of his early years to high-quality, emotive images of recent adventures. I treated the images with different styles: some were left raw to preserve authenticity, while others were enhanced subtly with light edits to evoke emotion without overpowering the narrative. The final piece felt more like a visual memoir than a simple birthday brochure. It wasn’t just beautiful — it was meaningful. Designing it was not only a creative challenge but also a rewarding opportunity to celebrate a life in a way that felt deeply personal and unforgettable.
