Typefaces were imposed by the client. However, we designed custom numbers for each section of the book.
In the production phase, I continued the project alone. I finalized the design of every page, proceeded to the last content adjustments with the client and proofreading with the print production studio.
Regarding the illustrations, it was a collaborative work between Benjamin Lamingo and I. First, I did concept research and moodboards for each image. Then he made a first draft of about 70% of the illustrations. Finally, I brought his drafts to the final images, developed the illustration style and made adjustments in response to client feedback.
