Series of Book covers for the Political Ecology genre.
BOOK COVER DESIGN
The brief was to develop a visual system that could be adapted across a series of books from the same genre. This system included typographic treatment, type of imagery and in this case, a distinct colour palette.
Typographic choice of simple and bold condensed sans serif to convey a sombre tone and sense of urgency in the genre.
Art direction of visual style of cover series. The tangled and unraveling thread was used as a visual metaphor for the complex challenges occurring in a world unraveling from the flaws in its political and ecological systems.
Covers mocked up in Photoshop to show feasibility as a printed design and object.
Imagery created through abstracted photography and photo editing.
