Cat & Fish

This project reimagines a classic children’s story through the lens of Penguin Books’ iconic design language. The cover explores the dynamic between The Cat in the Hat and Fish, using their contrasting personalities to reflect the playful balance of chaos and order. A modern reinterpretation that honors both the narrative spirit of the story and the timeless legacy of Penguin’s visual identity.

Project Summary: I focused on balancing bold simplicity with expressive detail, using hand-drawn line art to introduce texture and character without disrupting the clean, grid-based layout. The result is a disciplined visual solution that combines classic typographic order with playful illustrative energy.

Design Concept: Nostalgic Warmth, Minimalist Framework.
