Reworking the original layout of the story "Dead Leaves," an excerpt from "Characters," a creative magazine where authors exchange stories of various genres, according to one's style and needs.

The entire redesign is centered around the sense of closure, as repeatedly highlighted in the story. The text box, typically aligned to the left, is deliberately aligned to the right, symbolizing the desire to leave behind the place one wishes to distance oneself from. When the protagonist of the revised story realizes they cannot leave, encountering an insurmountable wall, they return home. From that moment, the text boxes return to being aligned to the left, emphasizing the man's despondency, bitterness, and disappointment as he returns home.​​​​​​​

The colors have been selected according to the autumnal theme, echoing the title of the story. Contrasting colors, yet subdued and delicate, much like the delicate subject matter, making them pleasing to the eye.

I wanted to give greater emphasis to the story by alternating light pink pages and dark green pages, representing one as day and the other as night. This choice aimed to highlight the attempts to flee from home from dawn until after sunset.

For the cover, I chose the font [novela], which compared to the font used for the rest of the text, stands out more in the size of individual letters while still maintaining elements of elegance, simplicity, and clarity.​​​​​​​

For the text, I chose [minion pro regular], a font that complements the one used for the cover. It's less pronounced in the size of individual letters, making it better suited for reading longer content.​​​​​​​
