Design Rationale

With minimal bold typography and blind-debossing, the series design creates a centre stage for each artist’s artwork to feature on the front cover. Choosing one of the most iconic’s work of each artist, the designer and publisher hope curiosity and familiarity make this package jump on the shelves. The internals are fittingly contemporary with artworks dominating spreads. Utilising metallic ink, it creates continuity between titles through materials, yet a distinct personality should a title stand alone. For the layout, a collection of double page spreads, detail crops & generous white space allows the artwork take take centre stage.
