Social Animals

This book is a collection and celebration of artist Ryan Berkley’s iconic animal illustrations. It contains twenty-six portraits, each with tongue-in-cheek backstories.

The goal of the design was to be clean and complementary to the art. I wanted it to be both classy and quirky to reflect the tone of the illustrations; to achieve this, a quirky drop cap is juxtaposed with classic-looking frames. I worked with the authors in conceptualizing the concept of the chapter openers.
