BOOK DESIGN:
A BOOK OF JEAN'S OWN!

client: THe Onion

Location: new York, NY

A Book of Jean’s Own! is a parody of heartfelt personal columns, presented through the cheerfully clueless voice of Jean Teasdale, a fictional Midwestern housewife (and Onion columnist) whose love of cats, crafts, and chocolate is only matched by her total lack of self-awareness.

I worked with author Maria Schneider to create this book for St. Martin's Press. Maria would pass along chapters of copy and any illustrations she created and I'd build the book on-the-fly as the content became available. Two fun facts about this project:

  • Our liaison at St. Martin's Press was my former intern Lisa Pompilio who has since gone on to become and extremely prolific book cover designer.

  • The cover illustration was done by legendary Mad Magazine contributor Mort Drucker (!)

I worked directly with the author and the publisher liaison to create this book for St. Martin's Press delivering production files ready to print.
