Design Rationale

With the design we were looking to take this long-standing, children’s format of a lift-the-flap book into a cooler, more contemporary look and feel – for modern families. Each front cover represented the outside of an important cultural space/institution in our community … and the internals showed the inside rooms, with each spread a different room or exhibit area. The choice of fonts and use of arrows and other elements tie in with the playful, interactive style of the artwork.
