brief: front cover images and 38 interior illustrations in full page, half page, and spot.

solution: I decided to go with a woodcut look to give the disparate subject matter a unified feeling of antiquity, as if the images were hand-carved in the stones of time. The Amazon page calls out “comprehensive, display-worthy illustrated references on a range of intriguing topics, including archeological discoveries, world mythology, pop culture, global superstitions, and the fascinating stories behind signs and symbols.”
