Above The Cloud

ABOVE THE CLOUD IS A TYPOGRAPHIC PUBLICATION THAT VISUALLY INTERPRETS THE MOUNTAINEERING JOURNEY OF LHAKPA SHERPA, THE FIRST NEPALI WOMAN TO SUMMIT EVEREST TEN TIMES. THE BOOK TRANSLATES HER ASCENT FROM BASE CAMP TO THE SUMMIT INTO A VISUAL EXPERIENCE, USING VERTICAL RHYTHM, LAYERED HIERARCHY, AND CONTROLLED SPACING TO EVOKE ENDURANCE AND ALTITUDE. A COOL, RESTRAINED PALETTE AND SHIFTING TYPOGRAPHIC SCALES REFLECT THE HIMALAYAN ATMOSPHERE, GUIDING THE READER THROUGH BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL MILESTONES OF HER CLIMB.
