-
The cover brief for this series required the design to appeal across a broad year 7 – 9 student range and reflect real-life science. Bold colour and typographic treatment, exotic locations and real-life scientists working in the field are used in combination to engage and inspire students. A small blurb on the cover acts as both a design element and to give background on the scientific activity. The text design continues this them with a bold colour palette used for navigation, a visual chapter opener and a single science concept presented per spread to simplify and focus learning of key science concepts.
