Life in Detox — Book Cover

Book cover design, typesetting and copy for a memoir on recovery — restraint, warmth and quiet dignity across every touchpoint.

1. 01Established a minimalist visual language using generous white space, a muted colour palette, and a simple editorial layout to evoke a sense of calm and clarity
2. 02Selected a classic serif typeface for the title, balancing a sense of quiet strength with vulnerability through deliberate kerning and scale
3. 03Wrote and edited the back cover copy, focusing on honest, direct language that respected the sensitive nature of the recovery narrative without falling into melodrama
4. 04Designed the interior grid and typesetting layout using Adobe InDesign, ensuring comfortable line lengths and generous margins that allow the text to breathe
