visual design

The assignment: choose a book you that you would love to design the cover of.  A Story Without A Tale is an unknown literary feast written by a contemporary of Charles Dickens, Mr. William Maginn. Written in the late 19th century, this book deserved a cover that reflected its timless beauty. The cover painting is a Dutch still life from the National Gallery. Cover was designed with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and layout with InDesign.

The mini bottle design appeals to those not willing to commit to a full size bottle, also making it  appropriate for gift giving or travel.
