Books& Collective (2026)
Key Visual / Poster Design
Books& is a new publishing collective that seeks to redefine the value of books in the creative economy. By connecting publishing with other sectors, they create new opportunities for books to thrive as cultural touchpoints, creative catalysts, and business platforms. They work to ensure their relevance in a rapidly evolving world, shaping the future of publishing by integrating books into the broader creative content ecosystem.
I was commissioned to create the key visuals for their event in collaboration with Arts House Group, Pass the Mic: Sing Lit Authors & Musicians in conversation. I chose a limited palette of yellow and brown to match the event's chill, cozy, intimate vibe. Clean, simple hand-drawn illustrations were also used to create a more casual, fun mood. Since the event was a conversation between two creators, I stuck to the use of the speech bubble as the key motif. Along with the key visual, I created a series of 6 Instagram posts that introduced the author and musician pairs. I decided to split each weekend up into three different colour palettes and continued with the hand-drawn elements and speech bubbles to maintain a sense of cohesion with the main poster.
