-
Human Kind is a non-fiction picture book series about the values that underpin our lives. The brief for design was to work in sync with the retro-style artwork that had been commissioned while having a strong shelf presence. The series is in many way a homage to simpler times. The colour blocking on the cover and playful busy endpapers are a nod to the beloved Golden Book range, while The diecut cover is a playful addition — and more symbolically there to engage kids to live the values in the book – by putting their face through the hole! 🙂
