OSU Journal

Enshin Karate’s vice grandmaster wanted a full-year mindset planner for his students and anyone else trying to stay consistent. He supplied the hexagrams. I designed the cover, layouts, icons, and supporting graphics, and kept every hexagram accurate. The book covers goal setting, gratitude, training drills, meditation, and weekly reflection, with a black-and-white interior to keep printing costs down.

We worked out the structure together over several rounds. A printed planner can’t be fixed after it ships, so every page had to work on day one and day 360. It covered its production cost and made 50% on top.
