brief

Create a set of three book jackets and accompanying packaging for a box set by Ellis Peters, titled ‘The Cadfael Chronicles,’ which tells the story of fictional character ‘Cadfael,’ a Welsh Benedictine monk living in Shrewsbury Abbey.

OUTCOME

After extensive research in order to convey Medieval authenticity to my designs, I produced my own block prints which are actually referenced in the Cadfeal literature. I loved the effect achieved, very raw and refreshingly different, the complete antithesis of computer generated material.
