Briefed to redesign The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and I approached the project with a vision that balances professionalism with creativity. Inspired by the Emerald City, I centered the design on an emerald green palette and introduced typographical illustrations to mirror the illusions the Wizard used to captivate the citizens of Oz.

To convey a polished and refined look, I selected Garamond as the primary typeface, renowned for its timeless elegance. Clean margins and thoughtful leading further enhanced the professional aesthetic. A distinctive feature of the redesign is the use of typographical illustrations for the chapter titles, where the text itself is transformed into imaginative visuals, adding a fresh and dynamic twist to the book.

The cover and back cover extend this typographic concept by incorporating text to create the shape of the Wicked Witch’s hat, seamlessly tying the design elements together while celebrating the magical and playful spirit of the story.
