Physics of Living

PHYSICS OF LIVING Book Cover Design

The Physics of Living is a book that compares life to a series of metaphors involving principles of physics, but in an approachable and unassuming way.

I chose to take some of the imagery usually associated with physics and combine it with one of the metaphors presented in the book; billiard balls. This is then presented it in a kind of classic textbook feel, as the book is equal parts physics lesson as it is a manual for a balanced life.


PHYSICS OF LIVING Back Cover

All throughout the book there are illustrations of the author participating in the metaphors which, while unconventional for books of this type, helps convey the personable tone in which it is written. I art directed these, the illustrations were done by my brother, and I included one that also involves the billiard balls on the back cover. This hopefully helps bring in people who might have been scared off by the word "physics" in the title.
