The design brief for this fully revised 4th edition was to revitalize the significance of the book in a complete relaunch with new cover and interior design. The design needed to reflect its outstanding importance in the wine market.

I created a bold, yet elegant, contemporary, yet authoritative cover design to underline its significance in the world of wine and to pay credit to its heritage.
The well-structured, clear, but unobtrusive typography of the interior design is broken up by full colour plates and illustrations. Despite the fact that this is a still comprehensive reference work, the new interior design makes it much more accessible to a broader audience.

The brief was a complete redesign of the cover and interior for the whole book series. Firstly the dated design needed a facelift with new fonts and colours. Additionally annotations in the margin needed a clever and clear design. Above all the aim was to make the highly complex content more accessible and appealing.

I gave the interior design a very clear visual structure and added distinctive features and a slick, clean set of icons. The bright colour palette guarantees a strong appearance on the market and most importantly helps the user to navigate and understand the text.

I really enjoyed the detailed typographical attention that was needed in this task. I never thought it can be so much fun to work on a law study guide.
