The Project

The author sent me his latest book to put together. This one was unique in that I got to edit the typography a bit on the front cover. I knew the author was a sci-fi writer, but I had never read his work. After having read the book description, I thought that the original bold font he had on his cover felt too masculine and militaristic in a genre that’s known to be hyper-masculine. His book sounded appealing to women, so I thought adding a thinner font with a blue that wasn’t as saturated and with a gradient that wasn’t as heavy would be the best way to go. I wanted to evoke the same welcoming feeling that The Martian had for both men and women for this book.

I also wanted to play with the title. So when I went to create the interior design, I thought adding a soft gradient to the titles would be nice to kind of evoke the feeling of clouds.
