Power of Play

A book travelling the complete landscape of play — from the smallest workings of the prehistoric imagination, through our development into the endlessly game-playing species we are today.

The book design side-steps the clichéd graphic language of play with a minimal cover featuring a clip-art stick (the ultimate 'play object'). The coloured edges hint at the topic inside. The layouts focus on information clarity, inspired by the accessibility of mid-century Penguin Books.
