Project description

Dear Diary, Welcome to Being a Woman is a collection of raw, vulnerable diary entries following a girl from age 8 to 25, a journey through what it really means to grow up as a woman in a world that silences, shames, dismisses, and controls us.  

A journey through 25 years of unspoken rules.

Every entry in this book is drawn from truth, shaped by real experiences and real voices. It isn’t one woman’s story, it’s every woman’s story. Not every detail, not every chapter, but every woman will find something in these pages that feels painfully familiar. Some entries will make you angry. Some will make you cry. Some will educate you. All of them are true.

I wrote this book because I am tired and angry. Tired of the unspoken rules, the fear, the expectations, the silence. This is the reality of being a woman, raw, unfiltered, and true. These are the stories we’ve been forced to carry alone. But not anymore. 

This is not fiction. This is reality. Welcome to being a Woman.

THE STORY BEHIND THE DESIGN

The design is simple and stripped back so the words speak loudest. No distractions, just words. The A6 size makes it feel like a real diary, small, intimate, personal. The colours shift from soft pink to deep red, girlhood to womanhood, innocence to anger, discomfort to power. It also plays on the gender stereotype that pink is for girls.

ABOUT ME

I am a graphic designer with a passion for creating bold, impactful visuals that inspire change. I see design as more than just aesthetics, it’s a powerful tool for storytelling, education, and activism. 

My design philosophy is to create work that sparks conversations, challenges perspectives, and drives social impact. I am motivated by the power of design to bring awareness to important social issues, from women’s rights and gender equality to mental health advocacy. 

I want my work to not only be visually striking but also meaningful, encouraging people to think differently and take action. 

I aim to blend creativity with purpose, using my skills to make a difference.
