Ligmincha International
Overview
Ligmincha International is a community of students, meditators and practitioners of the ancient Bön spiritual tradition. Geshe Tenzin Wangyal is the founder and spiritual director of Ligmincha International.
Over the course of two years, I partnered with two Editors, the Director and various board members of the non-profit to deliver two books. I designed the books end to end, created all assets and managed the books through printing and publication.

Have a big problem? Use a grid.
As it is nearly always the answer, the use of a grid was particularly necessary here due to the variety of proportions and resolutions of the 25+ years of collected and donated photography. Using a 10 column grid allowed me the flexibility to create a variety of layouts that I could reuse throughout the book while maintaining consistency, and to incorporate one of a kind low resolutions photographs.
