-
For this series I wanted to create a design that struck a chord with young socially progressive parents. It needed to be bright, energetic, with a positive focus on solutions to global problems that also worked in harmony with Sophie’s energetic style. To do this I utilised a set of shape-based symbols to create a colour wheel that surrounded large playful typography calling out to the heart of the topic with Sophie’s illustrations interspersed. I also added spot UV layer over the title and the symbol that related to the theme (i.e., rainbows, sunshine and leaves).
