Guess How Much I Love You



Did anyone read this as a child?! It was my favourite book, the illustrations are gorgeous and the story is simple and sweet; a perfect read for a child. I also loved Beatrix Potter who wrote the famous Peter Rabbit stories, which had a similar illustrative style to Anita Jeram.

Logo





'Logo' book is written by Michael Evamy, and has been designed by Spin creative agency. The book covers many logos, from the more traditional to the new and contemporary, which means it has a very wide range to refer to.

Keeping a simple black and white palette for the majority of the book ensures it looks smart and fresh. The reverse of the dust jacket also doubles as a poster which outlines the categories within the book, which is a nice touch to something that some people take off and don't use. 

Dog Brochure



I found this brochure whilst browsing through The Chase's website. I really like the simplicity of the type layout, letting the image of the dog be the initial focus. It is clever the way they have managed to use the Dalmation's spots to subtly show the areas surrounding Manchester.

The Interesting Thoughts of Edward Monkton





Edward Monkton's illustrations are becoming more and more well known as time goes by. His comical outlook upon life's simplest things is quirky and fun, making the books, mugs and toys popular gifts.

Pop Up Persil




This cute little book is part of the Persil advertising by BBH London. It tells the story of the environmental benefits of the new Persil, and the pop-up book adds to the charming tone of voice that Persil aim to portray. The involvement of children in the advert gives the brand a friendly, family feel that consumers can trust, and the pop up book itself is so cleverly done that it keeps viewers interested in quite a boring product!
