Man vs. Child
Cover redesign of Doug Moe’s second edition of Man vs. Child.Doug Moe was releasing a revised second edition of his book Man vs. Child– a funny, fresh take on the parenting guide from the dad’s perspective. He was looking for an updated cover that utilized the illustrations by Jordan Awan from the book’s first edition.
I experimented with the various illustrations that Jordan had made to create several iterations of both the front and back covers, as well as the spine of the book. The final designs incorporated the illustrations in new ways, reflected subtle changes to typography, and made further use of the star symbol as a dividing element.
These changes provided a fresh, new design while still keeping the original look & feel so the book would be recognizable in relation to the first edition.
