“How can print books become as captivating and compelling to Toronto high school students as a theatrical production, film or digital media? "Shakespeare: From Stage to Page" seeks to transform the text-only Shakespearean scripts often seen by adolescents as boring, dated or challenging into something lively, modern, digestible and exciting, bringing the plays from the stage onto the printed page.”
Hello there! I am Fiona, an OCAD University Graphic Design graduate of 2021. I hold a passion for editorial design and have a deep love for typography. I am a driven and enthusiastic creative who seeks to use visual language to create energy. I am always aiming to impact viewers positively through design. My thesis project consists of three books designed for high school students that transform the prolific, powerful stories of Shakespeare into a new, accessible and enticing delivery to keep his relevant works alive.
