The commission

Pre-press production – editing, typesetting, proofreading, jacket design, indexing

Comment

The principal challenge in managing this book was getting the cover right. Initially the designer presented twelve mockups for the authors and publisher to consider; other iterations followed.  Eventually a solution was found: to use two designs, one on the front cover and one on the back.  

Below: The final compromise: different images for the front and back cover of the book.
