Welcome to the Bureau

In the old stories there’s a rabbit on the moon, up all night pounding away at an elixir. Same job description here: find the thing that makes your idea glow, then work it until it does.

No spandex required (okay, maybe a hint).

Department Nº 1

Covers

For publishers and authors.

Covers that stop a thumb mid-scroll and a browser mid-aisle.

Department Nº 2

Brands

For agencies and brands.

Identity, packaging, art direction and campaigns made to kick serious ass, not just look drop-dead gorgeous.

Covers you can pick up.

See the covers
  • Book cover: Man in the Blue Moon by Michael Morris, a house under trees at dusk.
  • Book cover: Courage Can Save Us by Rye Barcott. The word US is cut from a weathered American flag; a lone figure in uniform stands beneath it.
  • Book cover: God & Churchill by Jonathan Sandys and Wallace Henley, Churchill in shadow under spaced white capitals.
  • Book cover: The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven by Kevin & Alex Malarkey. A small silhouette of a boy in a wheelchair against soft golden light shaped like wings, the title in brown serif below, New York Times Bestseller across the top.
  • Book cover: Game On by Emmitt Smith. His face fills the frame in dramatic low light; the title in metallic capitals at the foot.
  • Book cover: Coherent Creation by Kathryn Brewer, the title in large painted letters.
A hare sits on the inner curve of a huge crescent moon, one leg dangling, looking out at the stars.
