Publisher’s Brief
“The brief was for an approachable, contemporary and engaging tone, something that felt like a classic in the making. It had to be compact but spacious, with an uncomplicated treatment to allow for quick reprints. It needed a strong typographical flourish to tie in with the Ayesha Green artwork on the cover.”
