"Not Yet" Book Design

Designing for books is probably one of my favorite types of projects. I love the process of taking all this emotion and intricate message and distilling it down to a single image that carries the weight of the body of work. It’s always a challenge, but one I welcome gladly.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to work on “Not Yet”—an impactful book by Toby Slough. There is beauty in pain, struggle, and transformation. Tried to capture a little bit of that in these covers. Here's the final result and a few outtakes from the project.
