Click for big!

Each chapter opens with a double-page illustration from Liz Hooper. The limited edition book will be in full-color, so I'm trying to figure out how to best treat Liz's original black and white illustrations without bastardizing them too much.

I'm using Tibetan buddhist robes as an underlying color scheme, but it's a little too monochromatic right now. I might make the shading of the interior illustrations blue, but keep the outlines and darker tones in the saffron and auburn range.

I'm using Minion Pro for the body copy because it's pretty space-efficient, but I may switch over to Mrs Eaves and just cut more copy.


[Do] Ffffff

F is a weird letter. You can get really swoopy with it, but if you cross a line it becomes S, T, E and sometimes h. Interesting.
