Anthony Frost English Bookshop

Anthony Frost English Bookshop stands out as a special place in the heart of Bukarest. With a great variety of quality art and architecture books, must-have comic books, literature's best and finest and good friends to help you out in your reading-thirsty endeavours and not-only, it's a dear place to me.
I designed several illustrations for the bookshop, which gradually evolved intro a story revolving around the main idea: love books.

Postcard for Anthony Frost English Bookshop:
A story is born.
Verso of postcard: Essential information about the bookshop.
Poster for Anthony Frost's 3year anniversary.
Design concept: We find the character once more, only this time they're dressed-up for the event: Anthony Frost is celebrating 3 years of existence, thus the two are standing on 3 books. Although is a fragile arrangement, suggesting the first three years of existence, we can see they found balance.
Further more, they proudly brag about the special offers the visitors shall receive upon visiting the bookshop.
Poster for Anthony Frost's 4year anniversary.
Design concept: We find our characters once more, only this time surrounded by four books. They've g
acquainted during the last four years, thus making the message clear: welcome to the book house, make yourself comfortable and ... love books.
Poster for Anthony Frost's 5year anniversary.
The time has come for Anthony Frost to celebrate in big round numbers. The poster speaks in all it's simplicity about what the bookshop stands for: five years of a continuous stream of words, sentences, stories.
Quiz for the readers: The underlying pattern of text is from an acclaimed novel written by a contemporary British writer. Can you guess what novel it is? :)
p.s. Many thanks to Carmen for the idea with this novel and to Cristina for helping me getting a hold of the ebook version :)
A bookshop should have a bookmark. And a bookmark should speak about the bookshop. Thus, this was born.
Detail:
