Design Rationale

This series is a mini version of The Precincts books which use strong graphic patterns in limited colour palettes. The challenge for the mini series was keeping the strong design idea, refreshing so it worked in a small format. One hero colour was chosen for each book. I illustrated punchy graphic city representations, these illustrations then form a suite that are used on the internals. I chose the format and the stock weight – so they were light and sturdy enough to take overseas. The logo is in the subtle shape of a pocket.
