“Treacherous” Book Design
PreviousPlayNext
Winner of Saskatchewan's 2009 Premier's Award of Excellence in Graphic Design. This book is Paul Derry’s account of his life as an RCMP agent among the Hells Angels, and how he came to be wrongly labeled as “Treacherous” in the RCMP agent rating system. This label eventually helped to allow a murder that Derry tried desperately to prevent. The design objectives for this project were to name the book appropriately, to communicate the author’s desperation, and to give a sense of his dangerous situation and lifestyle, all with the end goal of creating a cover intriguing enough to help sell the book. The final design achieves these goals and also helps to illustrate how the author’s calls to the police were frustratingly ineffective.
