Tabu & Verlangen

Illustration | Editorial Design | Print Media

Paraphilia, Fetish, and BDSM are still taboo topics, especially for women. Despite their portrayal in popular media, education on these subjects is lacking, fostering misinformation and ignorance. In my book, "Tabu & Verlangen," I interview diverse individuals about feminism, relationships, and sexual empowerment.

These personal conversations offer intimate insights into a world full of prejudices. The book includes relevant information, explanations, and vivid illustrations to destigmatize these topics and make them more accessible.

The Book was not only a balancing act in content but also in design. It navigates between hard and soft, clichés and relevance, and explicitness and objectivity. That's why I chose pastel colors to break stereotypes, created tasteful illustrations for realistic insights, and opted for a neutral cover to distance it from the look of the typical erotic books. The result is an artistic non-fiction book that aims to do both: educate and entertain.
