UNCANNY

Art Direction (collections) | Project Management | Logo Design | Branding | Book and Cover Design

LOGO:

Uncanny is a crime story with a science fiction twist from award-winning writer Andy Diggle. It's the story of a con man who can steal someone's abilities with a touch, who gets in over his head. For the logo, I wanted something with the perspective and three-dimensional aspects of a traditional superhero comic because of the main character's powers, but wanted a serif font often found in crime stories. I added the few bars jutting out and cutting each other off to represent that not everything was right or in control.

GRAPHIC NOVEL:

For the cover, I wanted a design that would be reminiscent of a series of crime novels, with imagery that could repeat across the series. I liked the idea of using double exposure-style imagery to represent the character taking the abilities of others within himself as the main design element throughout the book's design. Volume two book design by Geoff Harkins, following my art direction
