BAU-DA DESIGN LAB


www.bauda.com

After looking at the Audioslave video I discovered designer P.R. Brown and his company Bau-Da Design lab. The website is definately worth a look. It is really simple but the hand-rendered site really works and gives you an insight into the way the company may work.

I also had a look at some of the Graphic Design they had to offer and I found a book cover for Dita Von Teese's book.
Because the book is in two parts Bau-da have utilized both the conventional front and back cover to create two front covers (so when the book is turned over it reveals the other cover).

The thing I like about the cover is its use of photography and composition to almost suggest a split personality. The colour schemes used on the respective covers have been carefully chosen. The Burlesque photograph portrays 'candy' colours that suggest a playfulness and an innocence whereas the Fetish cover portays a much darker scene
