Watercolour & Breathing Space
Soft watercolour, deep-green serif type and generous space, carried from the cover through to a matching invitation bookmark.
A standalone illustration on the front cover becomes an enlarged detail on the back, and carries through to a matching invitation bookmark. Deep-green serif type and generous margins give the watercolour room to breathe.
Inside, the same care goes into the long stretches of reading: a clear rhythm of text, figures that sit with their captions, dense tables that stay aligned, and a reference list that is easy to navigate.
My work covered the typography and prepress for the cover, back and spine, the hierarchy and image placement of the invitation bookmark, the propositions and the complete interior layout, and the print specification checks and file preparation.
Original illustrations were supplied by the client. Names, titles and research content have been replaced with display text, and scientific figures use illustrative data.
