Bur Ragazzi classics series

For this series Italian publisher BUR (Rizzoli's soft cover imprint) asked us to repackage a selection of the classic children's novels in an fun, fresh way. We decided the design should appeal to both adults and children and that this was best achieved with clean design (for the grown ups) and a fun spot illustration (for the kids). Jeffrey Fisher (www.rileyillustration.com) and his whimsical style came to mind right away. Each book is printed on uncoated stock with two Pantones and the type is embossed. It is an award winning series and has been honored in Comm Arts, HOW, AIGA 50 books/50 covers and by the ADI (Italian Association for Industrial Design.)
