US publishers, Chronicle Books, approached me to design a boxed set of 3 classic novels as a collection of 'Stories for Romantics.' I was given the lovely, open brief to come up with a series style for the 3 covers and ornate slipcase as well as intricate patterned end papers and border illustrations for the back and interior pages. I chose a bright palette for this series - including the bright red slipcase - just in time for Valentines day!
