Suite of stationery

This is a suite of stationery that I designed for a company called Readability, which I decided would be an eye testing company.

Musicophilia: Tales of music and the brain

I sketched out some drawings of brains and music notes and scanned them into my computer. I wanted my brain to have a luminous effect to show it was alive and placed music notes around it. 

Musicophilia

I started to research imagery from the book

Isacc Tobin is a book designer from Rhode Island. I found his work very interesting, here are some of my favourite book covers that he designed.

Spring, Heat, Rains 

The Cybernetic Brain

My next brief is to redesign a dust jacket book cover for a reissue in hardback of Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks. This is a book of compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions that have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains, and of the human experience. In Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people–from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams syndrome who are hypermusical from birth; from people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, to a man whose memory spans only seven seconds for everything but music.

I started by researching book cover designs.
