For this collection of classical novels written by authors as Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens and Alexandre Dumas, we created a design system composed by a dust jacket that only wrap the bottom half of the book cover.
As a result, the author's name, originally accompanied by all the seriousness and veneer of the classics, is then reduced to a friendly and informal nickname “Wil”, “Dick”, “Dum” and so on. When unfolded, the dust jacket also reveals itself as a large double-sided illustration — folded, it fragments into an almost abstract composition.
Thus, by proposing to the reader a series of games in the visualization and handling of the object, the graphic project fulfills the function of breaking possible barriers that “classic books” can offer and invite the reader to enter its pages without any fear.
