From Reality to Dream

An editorial exploration of the relationship between reality and imagination.

From Reality to Dream is an editorial design project exploring the transition between the familiar and the imagined. Photography, collage, typography, and contrasting compositions shape a visual narrative that gradually moves between these two worlds.

From Reality to Dream: an open spread on black paper with eclipse and eye imagery

The idea

Between two worlds

The pages move between recognisable imagery and more abstract compositions. This contrast becomes the central storytelling device, allowing the publication to communicate its theme visually rather than relying on lengthy explanations.

Opening page: From Reality to Dream Quote page: dreams are where reality folds in on itself Reality: collage and a street photograph Transformation: a face and a distorted grid Transition: an eye and abstract images In-Between: a blurred figure

Rhythm and composition

Variations in scale, white space, and visual density create a rhythm across the pages, allowing individual compositions to contribute to the larger narrative.
