What I did
Book Design
When
2022 I chose to redesign three covers from the Cambridge’s A Very Short Introduction series. The brief was to make the book covers accessible for all audiences and ages whilst retaining its professionalism and credibility as a series.

To achieve this, I chose pastel colours and collage cutouts unique to each title to have a child-like appeal and approachability. Meanwhile, the realistic imagery and bold typeface serve to reflect the professionally-written nature of this series.

The system and grids allow for flexibility with different authors and titles.
