Short Stories Collections
Short Stories, Series 1 (Illustrated) features bold ink illustrations on both the front and back of the book. The title itself is part of the front cover illustration. I photographed and built displacement maps for these open-book mockups.
Short Stories, Series 2 (Gold Foil) is inspired by gold-foil hardcover books of the 1800’s. The design system focuses on central typography and rectangles surrounded by patterns and imagery relevant to each story.
Short Stories, Series 3 (Patterns) focuses on clothing patterns. All three stories deal with thwarted love and feature women. One is set in late 1700’s United States, another in Victorian England, and another in Russia in the 1800’s. I researched women’s clothing designs in those time periods and cultures and created a series of loose illustrations based on fabric patterns and imagery from the stories. The titles are gold-foil stamped.
