-
We had to balance between commercial appeal and something that represents Josh’s innovation and speaking to his loyal followers. For the cover I illustrated a dissected John Dory, the species with the black thumbprint (dot) of Saint Peter, the restaurants name sake (also die-cut into the belly band). The back cover shows the fish ‘broken down’ further which illustrates what Josh does. The clean, black and white execution was inspired by the Saint Peter spot – a design element that runs throughout. We wanted the internals to feel unfussy, contemporary, clean, approachable and legible.
