RANCHING

​

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY PRESS

​

Drawing from oral histories and family records, illustrates the lived experiences of four small Central Texas family ranches.

A three-subject title calls for a three-illustration cover. A classic western font style was chosen to get the topic of ranching clear right away, and the illustration style and images were selected to fit the era and its sensibilities. 

​

For this title I designed the cover, full jacket including the case, full interior, a postcard, and web banners.

This book was printed as a jacketed case, meaning instead of the book being wrapped in cloth, it was wrapped in a customizable, printed paper. When books are wrapped in cloth I'm only able to put things on the spine due to the high cost of foil stamping, but because this was a jacketed case I could design the back and front as well as the spine. For this case I went with solid black and white lines, the inverted colors of the cover.
