The Very Short Introduction series is a collection of general scientific books, and my approach to designing the covers aimed to visually reflect the diverse perspectives within each subject. Although I hadn’t read every book in the series, I focused on identifying key themes or essential elements to feature on the front covers. This strategy was intended to offer a glimpse into the core of each topic, giving the audience a sense of the varied viewpoints explored in the series.

I incorporated 3D graphics styled as light boxes to spotlight central objects relevant to each book. These objects were intentionally presented from multiple angles to encourage viewers to approach each subject with an open and inquisitive mindset. In terms of color palette, I selected red for The Plague, blue for Coral Reefs, and yellow for Fossils. These choices not only enhance the visual impact of the covers but also create a direct connection to the thematic essence of each book.
