Jacket designed for the course Book Publishing Overview, based on a memoir manuscript and fictional author. Our class was divided into mock publishing houses and we each acted as professionals trying to convince our publisher to acquire this new memoir. As the representative of the design department, I was tasked with creating a book cover and a logo for our fictional imprint, Chickadee Press.

I focused on interpreting the feeling the memoir inspired and finding imagery that reflected both that feeling and the story’s setting. I also wanted to incorporate the idea of “slant” in the visuals (slats of color, slanted “s” in title).
