I designed a series of booklets to accompany Decoded's Mindset series of courses aimed at leadership teams.

Each course has a different focus, but are intended to be complementary and used in combination. I have tried to reflect this in the design, creating a uniform series that is individualised based on the content.

As with other Decoded materials, these booklets are designed to run alongside the content, and are largely used as notebooks. I designed a series of grids to aid with this, and distinct dividing spreads to add structure.

Hacker Mindset

Hacker mindset – Hacker notes

The notes spread embeds a message using an MD5 hash

Hacker Mindset spread – Hacker Definitions

The Hacker definitions spread is inspired by homoglyphs, a technique using alternative glyphs disguise text and escape automated detection

Each mindset booklet has a dictionary of terms explaining key concepts and terminology.
