Stewart explains, “I wanted the
design to reflect his tongue-in-cheek way with words. His themes were
very dark and at sometimes too morbid to even read, but he always had
a way of conveying them in an almost whimsical, comedic fashion.”
His book covers work with strong
concepts and bold, graphical imagery, which immediately grabs the
attention of the viewer. I would purchase these books in a heartbeat.
What I also found interesting was the
unique presentation of these books, seen below:
Obviously, wrapping a belt around a
selection of books – or even one book – could prove to be a very
expensive and strange advertising method! However, I did really like
the idea of attaching a label to book, or a collection of books,
especially if it is to display the collection's name. The label
Stewart has designed adds a further level of sophistication to his
book covers. The simplistic use of typography, minimal colour scheme
and bold image stops the label from shadowing the book covers. It
merely adds that extra layer of class and good design. Who wouldn't
want to be a book when it has been presented so beautifully, with so
much unique consideration being put in place?
