Double Vision
Alfred A. Knopf Publishers, New York, New York, 2003
Description
The original cover for this title was killed at the eleventh hour. It was this incredibly baroque thing, with multiple PhotoShop layers and fancy display typography. The editor had neglected to send it to the author. So when she finally did, and it was rejected, I was left with almost no time to create a new one. Double Vision was just about the fastest design I’ve ever done for a book jacket. Black circles. Garamond. Nothing like a deadline to bring out the minimalist in one.
