Print layout: Robyn Lawrence

Robyn Lawrence is a graduate in Print from the Royal College of Art in London, one of the world's leading art schools. Robyn originated the text layout seen in the print book and the chapter ornamentations used in the print and ebook - both in collaboration with Ben Housden.

The custom print layout is across the entire text and enhances the reader experience making reading feel more immersive. It's been likened to watching a play. The brain takes about 30 seconds to get used to the experience, as characters occupy different parts of the page. 

A sample page is shown below:
