Build a book from an online course

This project came to me as an online workshop in the form of videos and blog posts. I transcribed the videos, removed the conversational asides, organized the material, and wove in content from blog posts. I synthesized and edited the content to create one unified, smooth-flowing manuscript. From there, I designed the cover and interior and produced it as an eBook.

Since the book was about minimalist productivity, specifically being more efficient by streamlining your activities and cutting out everything unnecessary, I wanted the design to reflect that. I used simple, modern, light fonts, just a few colors, and a lot of white space to embody the theme of minimalism and leaving breathing room in your life.

The author went on to win a traditional publishing deal with Tarcher for this book, and it was published with very few changes.
