Design Rationale

Respect & Family introduce the ‘Our Place’ series. While we hope children will read all of the titles, each book also stands alone, due to the different First Nations artists who are featured. The spare, poetic, layered texts are rich in meaning with each book individual in visual style, range of media and voices, introducing cultural concepts clearly to the indigenous and non-indigenous reader alike. This series celebrates the timeless universal values of Aboriginal cultures married with a range of contemporary visual expression. A clear, timeless serif face, and bold cover design adds cohesion across its diversity of visual styles.
