A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
Book cover design
I had the pleasure of designing a book cover for Bill Bryson's popular science book A Short History of Nearly Everything, published in Ukraine by Nash Format.
The book explains many areas of science and reports what happened between primordial nothingness and this very moment in a fun and easily accessible way.
In the introduction, the author mentions that what initially got him interested in science was a cutaway diagram showing the Earth's interior, which he saw in a classroom text when he was in fourth or fifth grade. Having explored a number of ideas, I decided that since this image was what had sparked Bill Bryson's curiosity in the first place, it made perfect sense for the cover.
The lettering style I used for the author's name and the title matches the one I'd used earlier for another book by the same author published by Nash Format in 2017.
