Web / Author site
A dark editorial homepage for books that already look like objects.
Donald Maclean. Aurora cover on snow, a pick-of-the-shelf grid, blog and an upcoming-title band.

The brief
What they hired us to fix.
An author with a strong cover and a weak theme. The site had to look like the object on the table, not a blog skin.
What shipped
The actual work.
- Hero with the aurora hardback and a short author line.
- Four-book shelf, a three-post blog and an upcoming-title still.
- Testimonials and a dark footer with the same serif.
The selected-works frame is the homepage as shipped: cover, shelf, blog, next title.
