Book Redesign
Client: University of Alberta
Date: January – March 2024
Problem: Reimagine a historical publication for contemporary audiences
Outputs: Print files, bound book prototypes
Role: Sole designer
A General History of Quadrupeds, written by Thomas Bewick in 1790, features descriptions of animals accompanied by woodblock prints. This redesign shifts the focus toward Bewick’s illustrations using a contemporary grid system, highlighting what he is best known for. The typography also draws subtle inspiration from the original publication.
