Double Double Toil and Trouble

A novel's identity: cover, typography, illustrations.

2023

Exploring the twisted world of Lillian Burke’s novel, Double Double Toil and Trouble, I crafted its visual identity. From the cover design to typesetting and illustrations, every element reflects the protagonists’ distorted reality.

Experimental typography with morphed sans-serif glyphs embodies the novel’s eerie tone, while linocut-inspired illustrations bring an abstract, textured depth to the story.
