Mabon Studio

To start reading a new book and feel instantly immersed in a new world, to get to know new places and connect with the thoughts and feelings of other people’s journeys. Books have that kind of magic, and getting to design book covers feels almost as magical.

What makes a book cover stand out on the shelf? What typeface families you should avoid at all costs? Why do genres use so blatantly obvious clichés? How do I send the right message through my book cover design? Follow along to find out (or go ahead and check all the tips, inspiration, and resources I've been sharing on my blog so far).

Are you an author about to self-publish? Are you an independent publisher looking for a designer? Maybe just looking for some inspiration? I hope you find a lovely place to stay here! If you don't know where to start, if you need a friend with a good eye on design, or if you're in need of a consultant or a designer for your book cover or book formatting, reach me and let's make it happen!

I’m still in seventh heaven over here. Mabon is out, temperatures have dropped, I can start wearing my favourite clothes and hot drink dates are an enjoyable thing again. I wanted to collect a few visuals of the new site while I’m daydreaming and crafting some collaterals and merchandise I hope to bring to life over the next weeks.

September flew by and I am, for one, so ready for October! 🍂

Happy Autumn Equinox! As the season approached I knew some changes were due. I feel so connected and aligned with this new vision of the studio I’ve been working on that I legit smile every time I unlock my phone and find one of these new visuals.

So… why Mabon? Mabon is one of the eight festivities of the Wheel of the Year and corresponds to the Autumn Equinox. As it’s the season when both light and darkness are balanced and night and day are equal in light hours, Mabon is the time of the year to celebrate balance, harmony, reflection and recognition.

This reel shows a sneak peek of what I’ve been working on this past month to bring the new branding to life.
