Printed Beauty: Fun Book Covers I Designed For A Soft Launch
Founder Desiree let me take a peek into the event planning, where every detail was considered, right down to a mini display of exclusive books. Each book acted as a small portal into the Pretty Kitty Klub universe. The brief was bold: design 21 front-and-back book covers in two weeks, with full creative freedom. No hand-holding, no guardrails. I was all in!
One of my favorite pastimes is wandering thrift stores and getting lost in the book aisles. The older the book, the better. I collect vintage art books, cookbooks, manuals, and old Broadway playbooks. There’s something about their textures, typography, and illustrations that feels timeless.
The goal was to create a series of distinct genres, all tied together by a single, subtle theme: panties! I wanted each cover to feel nostalgic while still being playful, unexpected, and entertaining. It also felt important to make the project personal, so I designed a fictional autobiographical cover for each PKK team member. A small, sentimental detail that turned the books into keepsakes.
Below are my top 7 favorites!
