Llewellyn is a designer who cares about clarity, content and character.
Before designing our first typeface in Type Design class with Cyrus Highsmith, we chose the book for which the typeface would be created. I chose Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Designing book covers for the selected text was a way to begin thinking about the structure and narrative presented. Using my own photographs of warehouse interiors and polished concrete, I sought to depict harsh materiality (a symbol for the horrors of war) and eerie otherworldliness (a reference to narrator Billy Pilgrim’s travels to alien world Tralfamadore).
