It’s Not Your OCD

Class project · Typography II

Printed spread with “It’s not your OCD” in large type over a dense wall of repeated intrusive-thought phrases.

A feature that makes you feel the pressure before it explains it.

People say “I’m so OCD” about a tidy desk. This feature explains what the disorder actually is. On the opening spread, intrusive thoughts repeat until they crowd the headline; the second spread slows down and makes room for the facts.

The second spread: a torn-paper portrait with calm columns of text and a red diagram.
The opening spread in a magazine lying open in window light: repeated intrusive thoughts crowd the headline.
The second spread in the same light, slower, with room for the facts.
