«Reset» is a powerful collection of 17 life stories about resilience and rebirth. Each narrative follows extraordinary individuals who, after facing profound setbacks, found their way back to life – often emerging stronger than before.
For this book, photographer Günter Valda created portraits for the Austrian General Accident Insurance Institution, capturing both Paralympic champions and people from all walks of life who show that a serious injury marks a new chapter, not an ending.
The design approach was intentionally restrained, letting the photography take centre stage. At the book’s core, typography creates a deliberate counterpoint to the imagery, framing first-hand accounts that offer raw perspectives on finding new purpose and direct advice to others facing similar challenges.
