Case Study: Maneline Books

Maneline Books

Project Components: website design, logo design, customized blog installation, customized photo gallery installation.

Maneline Books is a local publishing house. The publisher wanted to showcase the work of author Trudy Andrew by featuring the covers of her books on the front page of the site. The challenge here was to create a layout that was simple enough to allow book cover images to "pop", and attractive enough to stand alone on text only pages. It was also important that the design implemented for the main site be adaptable for the author's blog and photo galleries.

Through the use of a simple, text based logo, muted colour blocking, repetition of small celtic design elements, a montage of colourful travel photos, and lots of white space, we were able to create an attractive frame for Ms Andrew's book covers that also works very well for text based pages.

I had a look and I love it! The front page looks great and the added row of pics along the bottom was a very good idea.
