Spirituality & Martial Arts - Editorial
Spirituality & Martial Arts is an editorial publication made to showcase the history and evolution of martial arts as well as how it can imporve the connection between your mind, body, and soul.
The editorial starts off with the ancient origins of using martial arts for war, making its way to modern applications and how humanity have changed these forms to aid in meditation, physical therapy, and in some cases religion.
Keeping in line with the ancient orgins I used textured paper as a background to give the illusion of an ancient manuscript. I wanted to keep the East Asian influence by deciding to use various textiles and stamps from the region. The ink and paper effect give a sense of calm and balence, meant to go along with the theme of inner peace. Each chapter of the editorial has its own designated textile and color, showing how different aspects come together as a whole, like how your chi flows through your body and intersects in your core.
