5. Penguin Book Design
Book Cover Design — Penguin Nonfiction
This design for the fictitious Penguin nonfiction book The Basque Sheepherders of the West showcases a blend of modern and historical elements. Using Adobe InDesign, I typeset the internal spreads and cover, while Adobe Photoshop was used to create a composite featuring archival imagery from the University of Idaho’s archives. The organic elements on the front cover are balanced with the clean, geometric typeface Euclid Circular A. The main body text is set in the classic and highly readable Sabon LT Pro, with generous thumb margins to enhance readability.
