FINAL DESIGNS

F A U X   B O O K S

I decided to go further with the book concept and create full illustrated designs complete with blurbs from the archives, and edited to look scanned, as if they were physical books in the archives collection. Each 'book' features original illustrated covers with art styles to match the genre, complete with wear and tear of varying degree to add to the accuracy of each genre it correlates.


"The Secrets of Sidlaw" - Inspired by the Adventures of Tintin and the Famous Five 
The idea of children exploring the world around them as an adventure


"Sunnyside" - Inspired by controversial topics in pulp fiction novels
The concept of forbidden love, particularly when certain love was treated as a mental illness


"College" - Inspired not by a book, but by the College magazine, a student led publication from the early years of the Dundee University
