LifeWork Book Designs

I created two book designs for LifeWork Project, a non-for-profit organization. The books utilize AR technology with scannable images throughout to incorporate videos into each chapter; this made illustrations very important as they each needed to be unique and serve a specific purpose. The overall design of both books used hand-drawn letters and minimalistic illustrations to appeal the target audience of young religiously-minded professionals who are just starting out in their careers.

First Book Cover

"Expeditions to Success" is a collection of short stories by author Joe Schuringa. Since this book talks about many topics that can apply to many job fields, I designed a cover that reflected a range of people in different careers all journeying together to climb a mountain. The hand lettered type follows the line of the mountain, emphasizing upward direction to show progress.

Second Book Cover

"A Christian Guide to Going Beyond in Life and Work" is a workbook by the same author as above. Since this book walked the reader through different lessons that build on each other throughout each chapter, I chose to create a single character that we followed throughout the book. The cover shows that same character at the peak of his journey, giving the audience a sense of excitement and inspiration.

Utilizing AR Technology

In each of the books, AR technology was used to show supplementary videos. This was a unique challenge to make sure each illustration was unique and had enough contrast for the camera to register it.
