Lengthy and dull title provided a challenge for this cover design, but I managed to incorporate interesting imagery with a clean typographic layout that resulted in an appealing product for its target marketing of JR and High School kids.
These are short stories and baseball related quotes from a Hall of Fame high school baseball coach who also has a son in the Major Leagues. I wanted to create a classic "baseball" look of nostalgia with this to follow the theme of the book.
