Book Cover Design & Editorial Branding
To Climb the Broken Bridge
Project Overview
To Climb the Broken Bridge is a conceptual motivational and leadership book-cover design exploring the journey from challenges to achievement.

The visual direction combines cinematic photography, elegant editorial typography and a sophisticated midnight navy and gold colour palette to create a premium, inspirational publishing identity.

Fade Into You by Mazzy Star is my favourite song ever!!
It's one of those songs I put on whenever I need a little reminder of how good life can feel.
For this cover, I wanted to capture the feeling of freedom, movement, and that almost weightless feeling of being alive. Like driving with the windows down, your head out in the wind, or opening your window at night and getting lost in the stars.
The idea was to make the typography part of the image, not just something placed on top. Almost like the words are floating inside that little dream you get lost in while listening to music.
I would wear a t-shirt with this art . Awesome work!
