It occurred to me that we don’t often design ‘book as object’ for the commercial teen girl market, even though we know these readers love beautiful things. So instead of taking my lead from the Hunger Games for this dystopian series I took it from the smartphone and designed a cover made entirely of foil (with the exception of black ink for the barcode and blurb.) By laying down a gloss foil first and then a spot Matt UV over parts of I could create three tiers of illustration and create bold, iconic packages for a traditionally black genre.
