The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Five cover illustrations for Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series – commissioned by Kein & Aber, a Swiss publishing house based in Zurich.

A limited colour palette, minimalist aesthetics, cut-out paper feeling. Inspired by Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet(1926). And yes, all five novels were read in full. Research has its perks.
