The Quester’s Guide
Joining a small team of incredibly talented people, we were collectively tasked with the design of cover, content and mascot design for the first edition of the brand’s on going publication, the theme being: Magic.
Of the tasks set, we were responsible for the creation of the book’s characters and the front cover.
It was essential that we captured the brand’s existing identity and aesthetic, while getting creative and evoking emotion through the character’s designs.

Key points were that the characters couldn’t look too alien but also had to remain genderless.
After creating designs that were constantly changing and filled with relevant iconography, it was brought to our attention that they bore a striking resemblance to ‘Kokopelli’s’. It was also noted that they could be friendlier in appearance.
This meant we had to take the designs a step further by going back to the sketchbook, giving them more personality and emotion.

The cover artwork went through multiple stages of development to make sure the entire content of the book, compiled by multiple people, was accurately represented in the design.
