Under + Ctrl
Prompt: Firstly, using InDesign to create a montage in a linear progression. The project required you to interact with NYPL's picture collection.

“Under + Ctrl” depicts society’s continuous surveillance and invasion of privacy for data consumption. Through a linear montage centred on the theme of the abnormal, the work integrates typography to amplify its message. Progressing from intimate to public spaces, the book features unsettling imagery of eyes and hands in unexpected locations, symbolising the constant scrutiny of our movements. Additionally, the montage features a combination of original photography and images from NYPL’s picture collection.
