ECONOMY OF LOVE BOOK DESIGN

I designed this book for The House Studio. The book comes packaged in a box with a DVD.

I also designed the interior of the book. Here is a look:

The first concept which was mentioned in an earlier post turned out to look too much like spaghetti and had to be redesigned. Below is the first concept that got the boot:

RAINBOW PIE BOOK COVER

A new book design for Granta & Portobello Books.

Rainbow Pie
A Memoir of Redneck America
Joe Bageant
Granta Books

As Obama’s triumphant ‘Yes we can’ continues to reverberate, it’s tempting to believe that a new era of opportunity has dawned. But there still are several million dirt-poor, disgruntled Americans for whom the possibility of change is as far away as ever. These are the gun-owning, donut dunkin’, uninsured, underemployed rednecks who occupy America’s heartland: the ones who never got a slice of the pie during the good times, and the ones who have been hit hardest by the economic slump. Theirs is a hard-luck story that goes back generations and Joe Bageant tells it here with poignancy, indignation, and tinder-dry wit. Through the tale of his own rambunctious Scots-Irish family, starting with his grandparents Maw and Pap, Bageant traces the post-war migration of the rural poor to the sprawling suburbs where they found, not the affluence they’d dreamed of, but isolation and deprivation, and the bitter futility of hope.
