Tanamachi Studio created a beautiful set of Puffin book cover designs drawn in chalk and each brings new life to these beloved tales. The ‘Puffin Chalk’ series consists of chalk-drawn covers for titles like 'Peter Pan,' 'Pippi Longstocking' and 'The Wizard of Oz.' Each gorgeous book cover plays up strong color pairings, typography and meaningful icons from each story.
These books are drawn in a medium that is commonly used by children and in schools. Like a chalkboard, the books have a black base with colorful illustrations and text on them. Although these stories are quite well known on their own, the use of chalk gives these books even more charm and a familiar feel. The playful novel covers are appealing no matter how old you are.
