Semantic Error - Book Design

MAY 2023
This work was developed for an editorial project at Centro Universitário Senac and was produced solely for academic purposes. The sale or distribution of this material is prohibited. Includes cover, layout, bookmark and illustrations.
The objective of this work was to learn the fundamentals of editorial design and put in practice in one month (May 2023), choosing a book of our liking that preferably had already been published to develop a new layout and cover for it.

The choosen one by me was "Semantic Error", which is a series of books written by Jeo Soori that has six volumes and was first published in 2018.

My goal with this project was to transform the reading into a unique experience, where readers can feel each emotion of the characters as if they were their own feelings, through a special illustrated and colored hardcover edition.

Study the perfect margins, typography, book size and the paper usage, colors, references, story elements and make a moodboard. In addition, we also had to create a fictional small publishing company in order to understand our target audience and their needs.

With the concepts defined, the main goal was to create a book cover and layout following the common structure of a book.
