Wicked Words: Typography for the Wicked Years Series

The Wicked Words project is a redesign of the book covers for the Wicked Years Series by Gregory Maguire using only typography. The goal of this project is to create a cohesive and visually striking set of covers that capture the essence of the books while utilizing typography as the primary design element.

“Each book cover features the title of the book prominently displayed in a unique and eye-catching typography style. The typography was chosen to reflect the themes, tone, and setting of each book. The color scheme and layout of the covers is consistent across all four books to create a unified look and feel for the series.The redesign also includes reviews by notable literary critics and in depth information about the author to update the covers and entice readers to explore the books. The end result is a set of book covers that stand out on the shelves and accurately represent the intriguing and complex stories of the Wicked Years Quartet.”
