For this project, we were to develop a brand for one of six series of novels.

You were to include book jacket designs along with collateral pieces to promote and advertise your chosen series. The design should be worthy of the words on the pages of the book.

We were to show our utilization of skills, media, and techniques from previous courses throughout the branding and collateral material. Overall, we were required to redesign the book jackets, a required poster, an in-store display, and two additional pieces of collateral of our choosing.
