Overview
One spiral motif, three cover treatments
The project explores three cover treatments for Psychology of the Unconscious, using the same spiral motif to create distinct variations within one coherent system. Each cover extends into a matching bookmark.
The Challenge
The cover needed to translate an abstract psychological subject into a clear visual idea without relying on literal imagery, while remaining coherent across three variations and their matching bookmarks.
The Approach
A concentric spiral becomes the central metaphor for the unconscious, repeated through three monochrome treatments. Strong typographic hierarchy and a restrained red accent connect the covers and bookmarks as one system.
