A custom sun-and-moon graphic is woven into the title and used to highlight the contrast between the two featured bedroom styles. Complementary brand colors further emphasize the visual split, reinforcing the dual design approach in a clear and engaging way.

Editorial Design: ‘Early Bird or Night Owl?’ Article
This feature in Furnishing Your Style, Raymour & Flanigan’s design magazine, explored how to style your bedroom based on your sleep habits—whether you're an early riser or a night owl. To bring the concept to life, I incorporated sun and moon graphics throughout the spreads, visually reinforcing each persona while creating a clear and engaging distinction between the two styles. The result is a playful yet polished layout that guides readers through two unique design approaches within a cohesive theme.
