Kakteen A–Z

The pocket-sized compendium titled “Kakteen A–Z” was developed in the second-semester editorial design course.

This project presents an alphabetic journey through the world of cacti, combining watercolor illustrations with descriptive texts. Each page introduces a specific species, while the design focuses on a green-based color palette accented with tones of red, pink, or yellow. The result is a visually consistent and informative zine that merges illustration, typography, and editorial layout into a cohesive concept.

Description

“Kakteen A–Z” is a compact zine that provides an informative guide for cactus enthusiasts. Created during the editorial design course, the project features one cactus species for each letter of the alphabet, from A to Z. Each entry is paired with a hand-painted watercolor illustration, digitally refined and placed within the book layout. The design emphasizes a predominantly green palette, enriched with accent colors, to reflect the diversity and vibrancy of cacti. By combining research, illustration, and editorial design, the project demonstrates how scientific information can be presented in a playful yet aesthetically sophisticated format.
