Cornell University Poetry Series
Design system for book series featuring the best poetry of the year. Color-coded cover illustrations are inspired by Josef Albers’ color theory writings and paintings.
This modestly-budgeted project didn’t allow for illustration or photography, so a visual system was developed focusing on type and color. The resulting cover design concept is a dynamic composition that is easily adapted for each new volume.
Project scope: Book jacket series design. Typeface: Sentinel by Hoefler&Co.
