China Miéville Book Covers

China Miéville is three-time winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award and has also won the British Fantasy Award twice. His books cover fantasy, science fiction, crime, horror, young adult, but they are also almost uncategorical, as he twists and plays with these genres to create something new every time.

When London based publisher Pan Macmillian approached Crush to recover his back catalogue they wanted something memorable that was playful yet powerful, epic yet detailed, cerebral yet sensational, no mean feat.

The solution plays with this dichotomy, we set up a system where one half of the visual would be organic and the other mechanic. Stylistically drawing on gig posters (photocopied, scratchy, deteriorated) that reflected the author's somewhat rock’n’roll or punk aesthetic (shaved head, earrings, tattoos)
