Fonética y Fonología book cover

I was commissioned by Georgetown University Press to design the book cover for a two-volume reference set of Spanish phonetics and phonology, Fonética y Fonología Descriptivas de la Lengua Española, edited by Juana Gil and Joaquim Llisterri. 

From the publisher:
“Though there has been considerable research on Spanish phonetics and phonology, until now, there has been no in-depth and complete descriptive reference work. Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española, volumes 1 and 2, is a comprehensive reference, written in Spanish, describing the phonetics and phonology of Spanish.”

Digital Design book cover

I was commissioned by Princeton University Press to design the book cover for Stephen J. Eskilson’s Digital Design: A History

From the publisher:
“A groundbreaking history of digital design from the nineteenth century to today. Digital design has emerged as perhaps the most dynamic force in society, occupying a fluid, experimental space where product design intersects with art, film, business, engineering, theater, music, and artificial intelligence. Stephen Eskilson traces the history of digital design from its precursors in the nineteenth century to its technological and cultural ascendency today, providing a multifaceted account of a digital revolution that touches all aspects of our lives.”
