-
This wonderful picture book is all about highlighting the brilliance of Beck Feiner’s letter characters. Beck’s characters provided me with the perfect palette and I wanted to keep the design very simple and pared back so the art can speak for itself but also to create something that would appeal to both adults and kids. When it came to the cover, I had the idea of placing the characters in the title and miraculously it all came together quite easily as there were a good selection of letterforms in the title. The whole design process felt very organic.
