Love Is Illegal

Imagine a world where love is illegal. For citizens in 67 countries that have national laws criminalizing same-sex relations between consenting adults, that is their reality. Love is Illegal  is an anthology of stories collected from LGBTQ folks who lived and loved in these countries. My intention behind the design was to mimic a legal binder, using censorship of its words to evoke the censorship and oppression of the people.

8″ x 10″, 356 pages. Printed on Mohawk Via Satin 100T. Hand-stitched binding.
