CONCEPT:
Elvin Hu designed this series of printed musical scripts from a book buyer’s perspective: What can we do to help readers easily spot the script they are looking for, even when all the books look essentially alike? In this unified series of book covers, the initial letter of each title fills the cover. Using colors from each show’s original branding, Elvin gave each script some sense of individuality while having them fit nicely into the larger visual system. The covers also feature an intentional slightly worn look, a nod to the many pirated photocopied scripts on the market.
