The Writers World Series / Trinity UP, final comp

Framing the Jina / Oxford UP, comps

The design brief requested a simple, clean & quiet sensibility for this scholarly cover. 

Trinity University Press / The Writers World Series design

This cover is in process. The Chinese volume is next in the series and the art was provided by the publisher. Upon seeing the bottom three sketches, the client liked black and red sketch & the emphasis on the main word (Chinese) but asked for slightly more emphasis on the second half of the title and a different color scheme.  The top two sketches are currently under consideration and include the spine. 

Oxford UP/ Thief of Time, revised & approved

This cover was revised to include a subtitle and to look less elegant, more contemporary, functional and scholarly. The top one was approved.
