Drawing inspiration from Rilke’s profound and reflective letters, I embarked on an exploration of the tactile and sensory aspects of reading through diverse textures. Each letter title page embodies a unique depth and richness, enhancing the reading experience. By incorporating a range of textures, from the familiar sensation of paper to the unexpected touch of concrete, this book design invites readers to engage with Rilke’s timeless wisdom in a multisensory manner. The tactile experience amplifies the emotional and intellectual journey of delving into “Letters to a Young Poet,” and creates a distinctive and immersive reading environment.
