Plenitude is the second book of the french author Katy Danjou published by Editions Hope. I’ve been commissioned to create the cover art, the pages designs & typesetting and to illustrate the main sections of the book . As a huge fan of the first Katy’s book, I was thrilled to work directly with her for our first collaboration.
THE BOOK
Plenitude is a collection of short texts, a hymn to life, to hope. The book reveals the essence of the writer soul, explores her path, like a gaze on this world, a bridge between the two borders of her secret universe, from the shadow to the light…
The texts are a tribute to her passions, muses, inspirations.
THE BRIEF
The instructions for this project was simple: to have a bright cover, an open way, a radiant light, a movement who symbolises a door to the Out there. The idea for the inside illustrations was to match the theme of the section, like a blurry dreamy vision and to have them in Black&White. I also had to create custom typography for the texts titles.
It was a very exciting creative project and interesting to transform the manuscript in a finished book ready to be printed and published.
