Book Cover and Full Jacket design

Challenge


Create a clean and confident design that feels accessible, modern, and grounded in real-world experience. It needs to speak to professionals and everyday readers seeking freedom and flexibility, without resorting to clichés or overly “techy” visuals

Solution


Create a bold, sans-serif lettering to bring the technological and strong component, placed within the silhouette of a map grid. Handwritten details were added to evoke the human touch. All combined to share this idea of being of breaking the map and going under the radar.

Outcome


A balanced visual layout combining strength with minimalism, giving the design a sense of clarity and structure, mirroring the content’s practical approach, ready to attract all eyes on the shelves.
