Skills used: print design, publication design, design conceptualization

> The Challenge

Design book jacket covers that represent the story behind Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst's book, The Open Organization. Partner with Harvard Business Review Press to create a final book jacket design and consult with HBR on the final implementation of the design.

> Design concepts

> The final design

> The Solution

I presented conceptual designs for the book jacket and HBR chose one of the concepts to base the final design on. I was responsible for the initial design concepts, as well as consulting with HBR on the implementation of the design. All Red Hat associates received a copy of the book, along with a commemorative bookmark that I designed. I was also part of a behind the scenes video that tells the story of how the book came to life.
