The Drunkard's Walk, UK edition

Designer info to come

Remember The Drunkard's Walk from a few months back? Discussion in the comments about the durability of the die-cut jacket on the US publication got fairly intense. Here's the UK edition, where the drunkard's walk looks more like me dancing after a few cocktails.

  1. I like this... the loosey-goosey vibe and the translucence of the feet.

    That's my technical analysis. ;-)

  2. lovely. I am enjoying this seeming revival of illustrated covers...

    Wonderful typography. Wonder what those typefaces are?

    I also love the muted, almost pastel colors. An interesting choice that ads to the whimsical clumsiness of it all.
