Banned Book Club
 

BOOK COVER DESIGN

Well Done Marketing created a 'banned book club' to combat the rise of book banning in America. Book bans have been slapped across titles for containing 'sensitive subjects' such as gender, racism, sexuality, and more. Well Done wanted to not only read these books, but discuss them and bring awareness by redesigning the covers of these books, based on the team's discussions.

"OUT OF DARKNESS" BY ASHLEY HOPE PEREZ
"Out of Darkness" is set in the 1930s and explores themes of race, violence, love, family, segregation, and abuse, among other themes. Throughout the book, we are faced with instances of “darkness” where characters undergo unspeakable tragedy, but these acts are often bracketed by kindness and love.
