I Love My Bike book covers

One of the big projects I have been working on is the I Love My Bike book for Chronicle Books. Now that it’s off to production for release this Spring I thought I’d share some of the initial cover comps that I worked on, as well as the final cover. As much as I prefer the more illustrative and simpler options, we decided that it was important to portray the contents of the book with a grid of photographs. This eliminates any confusion about the contents of the book and also differentiates it from the many journals Chronicle also produces.

    Really nice work. I think the final choice is awesome. The type really works.

    I will be checking out the book for sure, being a designer and bike lover too.
