THE ROYAL SYNDICATE
Book Design
PUBLICATION
With Roman Architectural and Art Nouveau influence, The Royal Syndicate pays homage to graphic designer Marian Bantjes. Her work was used as a reference point to design a collective dedicated to her. The custom letters M and B (her initials) were created for the book covers. A table of contents page as well as an interior spread translated shortly after.
