CrimeBits 1 & 2
2024-2025
I have worked with Black Spring Press for their books Crimebits 1 and 2.
For the brief I would draw a fine line symbol to represent each short story aswell as some grey icons for puzzles, banners for text and special shortlisted symbols.
I was told the western theme of the book and to keep this in mind when designing page decorations. We started with some ideas and tested them out and once these were solidified the rest of the work was able to be completed in the short turnaround. I wanted to give her options when it came to decorations so she could see what fits best for each page and text.
​
The following year she asked me to work on Crimebits 2. The theme was the same, keeping the special elements and this time focusing more on the updated story icons.
We started working with PNGs but I suggested we move to Vector as this will give her more control when sizing the images on the page and allow us to maintain quality which worked well.
