Product design for Thomas Hobbes' classic Leviathan featuring the cover, insert and cassette. The design utilizes symmetrical typography to both complement the book's serious tone and mirror the structured nature of Hobbes' discussions on society and governance.
Enhancing the visual intrigue
The book cover features an abstract water design created using linoleum printing, representing the Leviathan both as a sea monster and as a powerful authority. Embossed wave patterns enhance this theme, encouraging personal interpretations and aligning with the narrative's exploration. The design deepens the visual intrigue, mirroring the complex layers of Hobbes text.
