Jacket, case & interior design for Our Beautiful Darkness (originally published in Brazil, and published under Enchanted Lion’s new Unruly imprint)

Deeply involved in the English-edition of this book, consulting on the translation from the original Portuguese. My work on the design involved proposing a revised placement for the gatefold that worked better in terms of narrative pacing, which was approved by the original publisher & creators. We also implemented a new back cover.

Printed in North Mankato, MN | Features a double gatefold, spot UV, historical backmatter, and a surprise case design under jacket
