Design Rationale

A trio of picture books from Alex Rance, a now-retired Richmond AFL player. The characters in the three books are based on the RFC players – Alex being the Howler Monkey – and hope to show kids that they can achieve their dreams if they work hard and play as part of the team. Shane McG’s illustrations are lushly coloured and the type quirky but easy to read.

The covers are matt laminated with SpotUV gloss. Books 1 and 2 use the RFC colours and book 3 uses a PMS orange so all three are lively and animated.
