The Lyrics
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Book Design / Trade Books / 2022
The Lyrics needed a confident, elegant, lively design to match Paul McCartney's monumental influence in our culture. Both editions of the book featured eye-catching colours, custom typography, handwriting from McCartney's personal notebooks and rich production finishes to achieve the desired look. The idea was to give readers the feeling that they were getting deeper into McCartney's mind, peeling back the layers from the clean typographic exterior to the grungy raw book boards, before reaching the energetic, handsome interior.
