A journal for Eunice
A personal travel journal that introduces Eunice, celebrates her photography, and makes the stories behind a place easy to discover.
“It’s not just about where I go, but the stories that the places tell.”
That line from Eunice's research is the organising idea. The site brings travel experiences, human stories, reflections, practical details, and photography together in a warm, readable publication.
The proposed design combines a literary journal with a visible personal introduction and a map for discovering places. This working preview shows how those ideas feel together.
A warm editorial journal
Paper, ink, and a little green
The warm background echoes Eunice's preference for a slightly yellowed page. Dark text gives the writing a comfortable contrast; muted green helps readers find their way.
A writer comes first
Eunice’s name leads the opening, followed by a large featured story and an uneven selection of writing. EB Garamond gives the journal its literary character; Manrope keeps navigation and controls clear.
Dark reading text, sentence-case headings, modest tags, and generous spacing follow Eunice’s preferences. Green sections mark the personal introduction, map, and closing newsletter. Gentle motion respects reduced-motion settings.
Four ways into the journal
A first impression
Eunice first, then a featured story, an uneven article selection, a personal introduction, and a map preview.
