In Spring 2022, I took on the task of creating a book cover design for Stanley Lombardo’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey. The project included creating an illustration and type treatment for the cover and interior. The final deliverables were a 23.25” x 9.375” book jacket, two-page layout, cover page, and chapter break design.
