I designed the full layout and typography for Metatron and the Archangels of the Throne, shaping the book’s visual identity to mirror the dramatic and ethereal tone of the musical itself. The design leans into a celestial yet gritty atmosphere, blending heavenly imagery with darker undertones to reflect the musical’s themes of conflict, transformation, and divine rebellion.

The warm sepia palette and soft cloud textures establish an otherworldly, mythic tone, while deep reds introduce intensity and foreshadow the story’s dramatic stakes. The serif typography and stylized calligraphic elements echo sacred texts, giving the book a spiritual weight, while the bold title treatment encapsulates both power and elegance.

The composition balances narrative text with striking imagery, using strong contrasts between the mortal and celestial realms to parallel the musical’s emotional arc. Working with Amazon Books added a professional production component, allowing the layout to fully translate into print through careful attention to margins, bleed, readability, and on-press color accuracy.

Overall, the design supports the musical’s tone by visually bridging the divine and the human, the beautiful and the ominous, bringing the story’s world to life before a single word is read.
