A non-fiction study into the increase in scams since the creation of the internet, and the eventual heightening of social awareness of such has played into it’s downfall.

bernadette wanted a more minimalist look for her latest study into social Consciousness but wanted to shy away from “internet styled” graphics.

The goal

Style a book cover (predominantly hardback) using a more classic style for the illustration and making the cover pop despite it being less visually busy. Use print making textures to stop the cover form looking to “digital”.

The approach

Using bold primary colours keeps the cover vibrate and stop the minimalist illustrations from looking too crowded. Using sardines helps the humour in the study come across without being too on the nose.

Results

The book will be released in January 2027, as such the results are yet to be seen but the cover has been released online and has built up a significant amount of hype and traffic to the author’s social media.
