Book Design For Melissa Mccarthy: Sharks, Death, Surfers

A Practice for Everyday Life designed a publication for writer Melissa McCarthy that explores the symbolic connections between sharks, death, and surfers. The book evokes the feel of a pocket explorer’s journal, featuring a decorative italic typeface with a fin-like ‘A’, blind debossed tidal wave cover, and woodcut shark illustrations from a 16th-century source.
