As such, the cover has been designed and redesigned a dozen times. So when I began this redesign my goal was to create something different, and perhaps to entice a whole new generation to explore his work. I began my process by really digging into the themes of the book and imagining how a young person today might be coping with those some themes. At it’s heart Something Wicked This Way Comes is about acceptance. Taking a good hard look at yourself and deciding that you are enough. So I chose to center the design for the front cover around the fun house mirrors. Where you can see yourself for who you are, or lose yourself chasing who you’d rather be. I picked an illustrative cover which resembles a comic book cover and chose colors and gradients that mimicked that feel as well. For the typeface, I chose Boucherie Sans Italic because it captures the essence of early 19th century poster design (such as one which might have advertised for a carnival rolling through town) but still maintained the clean modern look I was seeking for the update. It rides that fine line between old and new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1608229426674-6EBLN2FVNSEN3F4D6LVI/swtc%2Bbook%2Bcover.jpg Design - Something Wicked This Way Comes https://www.kristinautrydesign.com/mywork/assured-heart-branding-design monthly 0.5 2025-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1623114086324-22IRV90HDUA86FCBDMCP/Assured+Heart+Blue+letters+white+box.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/f81427ab-29aa-4df0-9827-4afe24a52c2e/logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/a0dc1e86-e610-4f36-8570-8e73ed750987/corporate+polo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606775981082-NTNSKS21EI3RISTGM1JV/paper-system-mockup-v2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606775041439-WM3STW9BMDWT8X8IEA2D/bandaid.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606775352177-0LPA2WO78J8FC00D8G1D/ice+pack.jpg https://www.kristinautrydesign.com/mywork/black-mercy-record-release monthly 0.5 2025-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1623111435442-VZPYP2DLWMG2U7JBXD7M/Black+Mercy_Record_Mockup.jpg Design - Black Mercy Record Release https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606768213189-5KXL44YRHXAG7HJLUF88/side+a+and+b+lyric+sheet.jpg Design - Black Mercy Record Release I began by creating a linoleum block print for the cover with imagery inspired by DC comics’ Superman Annual #11 For the Man Who Has Everything which aside from being the name of the album was also the first appearance of the parasitic plant known as “Black Mercy.” Although there is a wink and nod to comics in both the band name and album title, the content of the record is not light hearted. I needed to capture the raw nature of the music, the pain of the lyrics and the roots of the project as a whole. The type face for the inside of the lyric sheets is folk goth which has both a hand done and creepy quality which I found matched the artwork perfectly. I created the artwork for the inside on Illustrator but did my best to mimic the ink block quality from the cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606768531703-S9V3HZ03BEYE7UL0C4YM/BlackMercy.jpg Design - Black Mercy Record Release - Expanding on a Theme Once the record was finally ready for release I was asked to design some merch to be sold at the record release show. I also created a flyer for social media to advertise the event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606768983041-M1G8DUM4OKE4RWMK6DXB/insta_promotion.jpg Design - Black Mercy Record Release - Tying it all Together For all the promotional items I used Tomarik brush, a bold heavy typeface reminiscent of the big black sharpie markers their singer carries in his bag at all times. https://www.kristinautrydesign.com/mywork/carly-and-star monthly 0.5 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/84075224-1777-4e21-b4f1-ebda84c89fcb/1604454109.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1606766701178-K3F70ZA9S4NYV3KKC1EG/Autry-C-and-S+front+back+and+spine.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/2d2e8ea4-ed82-4226-9281-83e90cf50deb/carly+and+star+sketchbook.png https://www.kristinautrydesign.com/mywork/witchs-brew-hard-cider monthly 0.5 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/28fd6659-61ba-42b4-b524-127039058fea/Apple-and-pear-mock-up.png Design - Witch's Brew Hard Cider - From our Coven to Yours Looking back, some of my favorite memories are gathering around the pool with my friends late into the night. Looking up at the full moon, surrounded by lit candles, tarot cards, celebrating all our abundance and blessings. Swimming in the moonlight, surrounded by these amazing souls, I just had to stop and wonder at how lucky I was to have such and incredible little coven of magical friends to spend that evening with. That was the inspiration for this design. I wanted to capture the magic of that night so that it could live on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa4a0d83a4e1a6251a1f849/1604956007706-HNJBI8B1GL72W5T78VD6/apple+and+pear+lables.jpg Design - Witch's Brew Hard Cider - Make tonight magical. A Witch isn’t trying to be anything other than who she is. She is raw. She is bold. She is unapologetic. I tried to capture that bold spirit in this label. For the typeface, I chose Tomarik Serif. It’s rough hand drawn quality matched the sketched nature of the drawing which is pulled directly from the pages of my sketch book. I used a bright green and red color palette to contrast with the black and white image to keep it bold and fresh like the cider it’s self. The result is a bottle design perfect for a magical evening with your own coven.
