2016 EDITION
Book Design
T
by Oliver Weiss
his cuddly Showcase of Book Design gives insight
into some of my
book cover and jacket designs
over time. I’m a freelance illustrator and designer, and
provide design work, editorial
illustrations and cover art for
book publishers, magazines,
newspapers, and packaging
products.
With a career in art and design spanning over two decades, I work in whimsical
and collage styles.
