Designing and formatting a series of books

Cornelius Coe is the pen-name of a writer based in Swindon, UK. His work can be described as Dark, Psychological, Mystery and Noir. I like to call it Kafka-esque.

He never quite promoted his books and didn't really use covers for them, so he and his work wasn't known to the public. I helped him with a series of covers that would spark the interest of a potential reader of this specific genre.

Beside coming up with a brand across the series of three books, I have also formatted and edited the inside of the books, designing the editorial aspect. I made sure the font I chose matches the genre and atmosphere of the books as well as the technical side of things such as that there are no 'rivers' and 'widows' within the book.
