This project centred on designing a publication with a monothematic theme based on a supplied psychological essay. “Bad Feeling at Work” explored how people often dislike their jobs but work in roles that require them to "smile like they mean it," highlighting the concept of emotional labour. This theme was visually expressed through imagery of clowns, figures who both literally and figuratively paint on smiles for work, serving as a powerful metaphor for the essay’s message. The colour palette featured primary colours in muted, darkened tones to reflect the weight of the topic. Additionally, the publication’s cover jacket displays a close-up photograph of a smiling clown, which, when removed, reveals the same clown frowning underneath, further emphasising the idea of concealed emotions.
