After designing several women's biographies, I also worked on the design for Margaret Atwood's biography, "Starting Out". At 85, she is a luminous presence not only in the realm of literary creation but also in social commentary. Before diving into this design project, I read "The Handmaid's Tale", explored some of her non-fiction works, and attended her Masterclass on writing. She imparted to me the wisdom of delving deeply into one's profession while also reaching out broadly. We must care about literature and art, but also remain sensitive to society, the environment, and politics. 

The design of this book follows the style of the foreign version, using Atwood's photo, yet the colors are more passionate and striking. As a woman and the designer of this biography, she stands as my role model.
