The Oxford Companion to Wine is a comprehensive, renowned reference book about wine with more than 4000 entries. First published in 1994 to worldwide acclaim, the first edition of Jancis Robinson’s seminal volume immediately attained legendary status.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
