3. 826NYC




The times have changed, and so have we.

Working with 826NYC, I found timely solutions to book design in the midst of Covid-19. In addition to designing a collection of their student publications, I helped create templates and a guide for volunteer designers to help with overall consistancy and brand identity across publications.


Our Worldview: We Are Who We Are

This cover connects New York motifes from the students’ writing through a print-block style. The design delicatly highlights a piece of artwork by a student in the class.




You’re Worth More Than Anything

The student work for this book was pulled from journal entries, so the classic composition book was a perfect way to present it to readers. The stylized custom stickers gives the book a modern touch. 




All I Have to Say

In order to represent the collective love for the city in which these young authors were born and raised, my cover and book design illustrate the quintessential New York experience of seeing and being seen through apartment windows.

 


Hope Is A Lion

My cover uses a ripped-through effect, conceptually tying the cover to the title and highlighting it’s bi-lingual titles in one cohesive, thoughtful design.
