This student project reimagines the cover designs for the Very Short Introduction series. The book series provides concise introductions to challenging topics for a general audience. These second edition concept covers are redesigns of the following books: Plague by Paul Slack, Coral Reefs by Charles Sheppard, and Fossils by Keith Thomson. The painterly designs are abstract, playful, and striking, but still inviting to readers and reflect the content of the books.
