Again, more commercial need driving this design than anything else... pleasant? Maybe. Does it look like everything else in this category? Hell yes!
The publisher had me work up this idea as something they feel will work for this. Since I am not a viewer of the show nor a fan, I trust this is something fan's will react to. I have successfully avoided using film strips in my career. Not today;)
Publisher wants a more Big Book/Memoir feel for this one yet retain some aspects of the branding of the TV show. We'll see...
My initial thought was to do something like this. I still might try something like that, but I am pitching these for now...
Title change...
Previously called The Recognized. I will miss the subtle reference the old title had in conjunction with my design. This new title seems to basically say what you're seeing: Pictures of the dead... Oh well. It's for a young adult market. Perhaps it is better to be more blunt.

After some back and forth, the request was for something more mainstream... this is part of a series so...

This is where this one is heading towards... kind of limited to using the soap's typography and images, but it's looking decent.
Vladimir Nabokov Redesigns from Vintage Books
I often don't blog about other stuff out there unless it's absolutely necessary. And this is one of those times.
Due to come out in batches this November, these delightfully designed (by like designers who matter) Nabokov's make me want to cry. They are truly beautiful in every way. they break all trends and settle up as probably the best iterations of the mans work thus far. Enough said. Buy them promptly when they hit the shelves. I know I am...
These may or may not be final designs, but they are beautiful nonetheless...
What will Lolita look like???:
