Parallax Press is a nonprofit publisher founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that publishes books and media centered on mindful living and Engaged Buddhism. Initially I was asked to redesign the Parallax Press logo and logos for their children’s and Buddhist studies imprints. Later I became part of a small group of freelance book designers responsible for designing cover and interior designs for a broad range of topics and genres. Book design appeals to me because covers and interiors play very different roles. A cover needs to quickly grab your attention on shelf or as a thumbnail online, while the book’s interior blends form (beauty) and function (readability) to convey its content.
