I created a graphic system that runs consistently through all the book covers and is aimed at a younger audience.
The illustrations, which represent places he's visited, work as a little narrative running through the back and front covers.
With regards to the choice of font I wanted something that was quite 'fun' as this is the best word to describe Bill Bryson's books. Also, as the word 'Bryson' has six letters and I had to design six book covers I decided that each cover would play with each letter. Once again, the meaning behind this is his books are fun and adventurous.
The dimensions of the book are: 18x13cmx2.8cm. I will be printing these off professionally on matte paper. Here are five of the covers. The other one isn't quite finished but will post it very soon!
