Mass-market Book Series
accessible // any genre
This series’ idea is linked to a problems I have encountered when purchasing books: the blurbs being misleading and the lack of trigger warnings.
My design uses 10 words/tags that describe the books’ themes and meanings, giving the reader a well rounded view of what to expect without spoiling it. The table-like approach and colour coding are simple and inspired by cyber-brutalism, the font highlighting the modern approach.

I explored multiple ideas during my idea generation process, some that emodied the Penguin style better, but I decided to go for the boldest of them. The design is simple yet it pushed me to try to implement something unusual on the book cover.
The colour coding exemplified in my design is as such fiction (orange), non-fiction (blue), with the potential for popular subcategories like romance (magenta).
