Two Tabletalk magazines stacked. The cover reads The Ordinary Means of Grace in ornate, copper-colored calligraphy.

The challenge:

TableTalk Magazine hired me to create something magical for their cover. They requested the phrase "The Ordinary Means of Grace" to be designed in a beautiful, ornate lettering.

In addition to the cover design, I also created six drop caps for use in the feature article.

The solution:

I developed a full script style with small illustrative details that gave the piece uniqueness and depth.
