The Client:

A competition entry for redesigning the cover for A Short History of Everything.

Penguin Publishing/Black Swan - Bill Bryson.

The Black Swan paperback imprint is synonymous with brilliantly written storytelling and non-fiction.

​

The Challenge:

To create a cover that matches the witty fast paced tone of Bill Bryson & communicates his quest or understanding everything in an effective visual style.

​

Author/Book: 

Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveler: But even when he stays safely in his own study at home, he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us.
