Book Cover Typography
SKILLS: Conceptual Design, Art Direction, Typography & Hand Lettering.
Projects with friends are the best! For this book cover design I collaborated with incredibly talented illustrator, Jack Crosby.
Jack's dad, an equally talented author, requested a design that visually tied into the setting of the narrative, and integrated the headline of the book into the illustration. Jack and I collaborated the layout, style of the illustration and typography, and ultimately created this highly bespoke cover artwork.
