Designing The 21st Century, published by Taschen, initially displeased me. The original cover had a garish rainbow design with too many graphic elements, cluttering its readability. However, the idea of reimagining a more readable and modern rainbow cover seemed fitting with the book's internal identity. I reused the same colors, simplified the rainbow, and extended the title across the entire cover. On the back, I created a poster featuring an object produced by each designer featured in the book. Additionally, I designed bookmarks and a memory card game using the visuals from the cover.

I also created a first proposal that contrasted with the original book. This version had a retro aesthetic, highlighting two objects from the edition while retaining all the information found on the original cover.
