Git yer jaicket oan

Just finished my last brief. Had to design two book jackets employing styles researched on fifties designers. An abstract design for an academic book range for the publisher Routledge. Here’s the first one, a treatise on ‘Practising Responsible Tourism’ – possibly the most joyless title on holidays ever devised…:

For some reason – possibly because of ubiquitous EasyJet ads – I felt that orange worked well for travel, also, I love the black/white/orange palette.

The second was a design for an tome on Architecture. I’m not sure if it’s a real book by a real author (I doubt it) but I figured it would be fun to imagine he was notable enough in his chosen academic field to warrant his name being bigger than the title.

I suppose this was a counter to the warm tone of the previous one.
