-
Petal is made up of hundreds of the most beautiful illustrations by Adriana. We simply had to bring them together in a unified, elegant and easy to read package. Color is key for Adrinan. We created a background colour pallet for each chapter and used tints throughout each section. The primary font chosen is Domaine which has a sharp serif and subtle flourishes which suit the subject. The cover went through many iterations. We landed on this option where the title looks like it is overgrown with an abundance of flowers.
