The World Children’s Classic Series
-This is a series of classic children's literature in the world, including Bambi, The Wizard of Oz, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Wind in the Willows, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Pinocchio and Peter Rabbit, published in 2017 by China Children's Press & Publication Group. I designed the entire genre, format, layout and calligraphy of this series, and carried them out with my ex-colleague respectively. I took charge of four of them, including Bambi, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and Peter Rabbit.
To make the 8 books in line with the same rule, I developed a structure that could be applied to each book. This structure involves the front cover, the spine and the back cover. On the front cover, the book title shaped as a circle trend sits at the upper left, while the main image occupies the lower right part, surrounded by other visual elements. The key image recurs in the space of book spine, echoing each other. An arc shape, comprised of the series' cover thumbnails and tagline, is a response to the arc in the main title on the front cover. Images on the front cover were all from the pictures that I processed according to the unified layout structure. In consequence, the 8 books were combined into a family-like series. |
