Common People

Book Designer for Common People — A compelling design for the powerful collaboration between photographer Leah Gordon and bestselling art writer Stephen Ellcock. The book’s design establishes a rhythmic dialogue between visual narrative and textual storytelling, mirroring its subject matter—earthy, tactile, and deeply rooted in land and craft traditions. Common People explores the enclosure of common land in England and the centuries-long struggle to reclaim it. The design supports and elevates this powerful narrative, bringing visual clarity, cohesion, and resonance to a rich and vital subject. Hardback book design and image sourcing, 210 x 174mm, 176 pages.
