Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad Publication

​

The overall concept for both books is an ink wash effect. For The Odyssey, the ink will be in blue and it is flowing downwards, unevenly. It represents the Odysseus’s long sailing journey home, which was filled with obstacles. While for The Iliad, the ink will be in red and it is flowing upwards that looks like fire. It represents the Trojan war, violent, blood and hatred.

 

The book is a minimalistic handy size novel where readers are able to fit in their bag and read it on the go. For the inside pages, the readers are able to hold the book with both thumbs at the sides or in the middle without blocking any of the words. Also, I have used indent to indicate a new paragraph instead of a break as it will not interrupt the reader flow of reading.
