The Change Code Book

Custom Book Design for

The Change Code: A Practical Guide to Making a Difference in a Polarized World

written by Monica Bourgeau
published by New Phase Publishing

This book has it all! A custom designed cover, call outs, pull quotes, tables, charts, custom designed graphics, an appendix and bibliography. It was so fun and challenging to design this book.

Cover Design

After our initial consultation meeting, learning about the content and purpose of the book, the author sent me her design vision for the cover. The book is about Spiral Dynamics and and she wanted a very natural, beautiful look that incorporated a spiral. I spent some time researching other book covers to get an idea of what already existed in this genre and to help me create a design that fit within that genre, but also stood on its own. Then, after a lengthy search for just the right images, I sourced a couple that were beautiful and helped me to design the cover that you see.

I use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign to complete a cover design.

  • Quotes
  • Pullouts
  • Sidebars

Except for the custom illustration, I do my design work on book interiors in Adobe InDesign.
