The Bookshop Murder

I’m so excited to share this project which I worked on for absolute genius Henry Lewis last year. The Bookshop Murder is an interactive puzzle book, with illustrations on every page. A lot of the puzzles are really intricate, hidden in tiny details of the illustrations so it was a huge job!

The visuals were a mix of 3D work and collage, with handwritten scraps layered throughout. I aged bits of paper the old-school way with tea bags — very much “primary school history homework” style.

Here's the front cover:

And here are some of my favourite pages from inside:
