Second Nature is an editorial design project exploring how animals adapt to urban environments. The project began by structuring content into a clear typographic hierarchy, organizing information into accessible and scannable formats that prioritize readability.

Selected case studies were then translated into illustrations that function as both representation and narrative. Each composition follows a consistent system where the animal appears as a large monochromatic blue form in the background, while moments of adaptation unfold in the foreground through warmer, contrasting tones. This separation allows each illustration to communicate behaviour, environment, and interaction at the same time.

The system extends across the full publication, informing the cover, table of contents, and credits, creating a cohesive visual language that ties typography and image into a unified reading experience.
