When Everything Was Everything

When Everything Was Everything, Full Circle Publishing, 2018

I was honored to do the design for nationally-acclaimed author Saymoukda D. Vongsay’s first children’s book, When Everything Was Everything, which was gorgeously illustrated by the magnificent Cori Lin. When working with talent like this, the best thing a designer can do is keep it simple, to give the words and images the spotlight they deserve.

I used rough paper textures and drop shadows to make the text look like it was pasted in on paper scraps, echoing the paper-cutout look of Lin’s art, and found a hand-lettered font that played well with the imagery.
