Double Double Toil and Trouble

Book design and illustration for Lillian Burke.

2023

For Lillian Burke’s novel Double Double Toil and Trouble, I took care of the visual design, including the cover, typesetting, and illustrations. To reflect the twisted world of the protagonists in the design, I used experimental typographic elements, featuring morphed sans-serif glyphs. The illustrations have a linocut style, giving them an abstract, textured look.
