Every year, new literary works enter the public domain. Apple celebrates these classics in the Books Store with a visual language that feels Apple yet stays true to each story’s spirit.
I had the chance to collaborate with artists such as Kento Iida on a collection of Osamu Dazai’s works, John L. Wilkinson on the Japanese edition of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, and Harry Waine on two H.G. Wells classics, The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau.
