Beginners' - Teach Yourself
We were commissioned to create a series of vibrant and engaging covers for the Teach Yourself imprint for John Murray Press. The Beginners' series currently spans 32 different languages, with 10 covers released so far.
Our goal was to transform the traditional language travel book style into something more dynamic and eye-catching, while staying true to the distinctive yellow tab branding. The evolution of the French cover, shown below, highlights the collaborative process between the client, packager, and designer.
Together, we developed a concept that works seamlessly across the entire suite of covers, bringing both simplicity and vibrancy to the design scheme.

- Stylised Silhouettes -
For each language, we selected a specific monument as the focal point. We then designed a silhouette, exploring various colour options, refining them until everyone was satisfied with the final result.
We are thrilled with the final outcome and built a fantastic relationship with the clients. We’re hopeful for the opportunity to collaborate on many more covers for them in the future.
