Overview
"The aim of this project was to repackage Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novels: 'The Secret Garden,' 'A Little Princess,' and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy.' I updated and designed all three books as a cohesive box set and additionally planned out and developed a layout for a board book version of 'The Secret Garden.' The purpose was to study how designers make decisions to repackage classics, what choices they make while designing new formats, and what demands different formats hold. This project details how I went about the process of researching these formats and the different stages of design decisions that I made to successfully reach a final product." -- Abstract
