Design Rationale

Life Span Human Development is about the development of human beings – from conception to death. It highlights similarities as well as differences in developmental stages. Using a melded silhouette image with pen marks, the feature image highlights the chaos and creativity of development. This profile is used as a strong singular graphic to anchor focus. Typography on the cover is clean and strong while being interestingly mind-bending. The turquoise and lemon colour palette from the cover is extended to the text design for internals, facilitating the functionality of the content.
