OVERVIEW

Have you ever been tasked with the creation of book covers? From scratch? With only your intellect and wits to guide you? Oh, and maybe your graphic design instructor to help you? Well I was. I could tell you all about how I did tons of research, listened to tons of podcasts, sketched for hours and then finally combined my designs into a smorgasbord of sublime perfection. Or you can just watch this video.


CONTENT

I picked three podcasts from Criminal by Phoebe Judge and designed book covers around them. One was about stealing rare and expensive whiskey, one was about protest and one was about treating people like dirt on the internet. Can you figure out which is which?

TYPOGRAPHY

For typography, I veered towards more handwritten fonts that helped reflect the stories.
