The post Writing At Red Lights appeared first on Limor Farber Design Studio.
]]>The Challenge:
- To visually recreate the concept of a “Red Light” as an inspirational forward driving force.
- To design a visually rich layout that encourages readers to consider new ways of thinking about their writing, and to engage in writing exercises.
- To create a book that is unique and different from other guides for writers.
The Solution:
We explored the title’s layered meaning, and chose to provide the viewer the sense of writing your way beyond the literal physical red street light. The symbolic heart within a red ignited spark provides a visual story: This book will show readers how to find their brilliance and ignite their creativity by giving permission to dig deep with vulnerable honesty.
We chose a gold colored pen to bring in hints of inspiration, brightness, and magic – the pen also pulls in an element of intelligent sophistication that writers who read this book aspire to.
The grey and black background and subtle texture of abstract script in the atmosphere sets the tone for an activated yet neutral environment. The landscape of a black empty road contrasts with the light of the creative work which the book guides the reader to participate in, furthering the books message that remarkable stories are all around.
The interior illustrations are simple and bold, utilizing a combination of cut-out shapes, free form pen lines, and subtle layered textures mirroring the cover style. We chose large-scale blown-out graphics to to support the reading experience in a way that pull readers directly into physically and emotionally engaging in the books content. There is no other book for writer like this that we have seen.

The post The Yogi’s Roadmap appeared first on Limor Farber Design Studio.
]]>The 358 page text’s interior layout incorporates Sanskrit language and diacritics, and includes footnotes, Saṃṣkrta pronunciation guide, an index, glossary, and a table of contents.
The Challenge:
- To create a book cover that is attractive to westerners and represents a spiritual journey in India.
- To design a well structured interior layout for an academic text.
The Solution:
Bhavani really liked the image of a trail in the Himalayan mountains. To frame the image and provide the feeling of enlightenment, elevation, and mindfulness, we chose the temple shape, a motif found in the artwork and architecture of India. This frame constructs the window or doorway through which the book’s contents will guide the reader in their journey.
The background texture pattern comes from traditional Mehandi henna art to further bring in the cultural essence.
The warm colors further enhance the mood, moving up from eggplant to saffron to gold, providing balance and movement between earthly grounding, spiritual study, and elevated awareness.
The lotus drop graphic, developed as the Viveka Press logo, crowns the chapter pages and the cover, and grounds the spine.

The post Life is the School Love is the Lesson appeared first on Limor Farber Design Studio.
]]>This is a full color coffee-table style book that can be opened at any page, or read though from cover to cover. It is designed to engage children and parents who wish to learn about the richness of island life and culture and what living and learning on Kauai is like for families.
Pages of the book are color coded by author voice, or information type, so readers can easily choose the areas that are of particular interest.
We chose a photo rich collage style to keep young or home-school skeptical readers engaged.
Each spread was attentively designed with supporting photography enhancing the text.

The post Voices of the Earth appeared first on Limor Farber Design Studio.
]]>The cover art by Steve Davis was gently modified to wrap around, highlighting details of the owl and the moon on the back, and of the Hawaiian Goddess Pele on the front.
The nature of this book is calm. Its intention is to slow down and listen. Its charm is in its simplicity.
To achieve this inward mood, the pages employ a single line of text and ample surrounding white space. The typeface choice is both light and easily legible, and carries a natural and tribal strength.
To gently enhance the special quality of the oracle, several different nature motifs alternate throughout bordering the interior text.
