American Fiction Vol. 17 Book Design
The challenge for this book was to design a cover that encompassed the themes throughout the book containing 19 unrelated short stories. After reading through each story, I started pulling out words or phrases from each story and noticed an emerging theme of loss. The phrase that ultimately inspired the cover design was "unbound emptiness." To keep the interior consistent with the cover, the same font family was used throughout with various font weights to create hierarchy. This book is published by New Rivers Press.
