Librivox Audiobook Covers
Self-initiated art direction for a free audiobook library — five books, five completely different answers.
Librivox is an open, free audiobook library whose covers repeat one template across thousands of books. This self-initiated series redesigns five of them — The Arabian Nights, Before Egypt, Voyage Around the World, Converts from Infidelity and Sawdust & Spangles — each treated as a real commission with full art direction.
What a book feels like
Every cover starts from the same question: what does this book feel like before you've read a word? Not the synopsis — the emotional register, the texture, the colour of it. Five different books produced five different answers.
Design that treats a free book as worthy of the same craft as a paid one.
