What Sister Maureen needed

Sister Maureen Abbott spent years researching and writing the latest volume of her congregation's history. Though the book's content was historical, she wanted a book cover that felt inviting instead of stale. There was also a challenge present in the necessarily long book title that had several subtitles and many words.

Our solutions

She selected particular historical photos with personality, and combined them with fresh and vivid design elements. The result is a modern book cover that displays the copious text in a readable, understandable way. It appeals to the hardcore history lovers as well as the casual non-fiction readers intrigued by the stories within.
