Aspects of History is a platform dedicated to enable historians and novelists to promote their work through podcasts, blogposts, short stories and book reviews.
Research began by getting an understanding of the market, looking at British podcast designs and history podcasts. Following this, moodboards were created to provide visual direction for the designs and give a feel for the final outcome.
A range of initial ideas were created, focusing on the use of books as the source of information for the podcast. The historical figures have been introduced using a range of visual styles and compositions.
The final design heroes a book - the item which all Aspects of History content is focused on. Graphic 'spotlights' visualise the search for information in a text, while the historical figures are added in a minimal collage style composition. A second cover was created for the sister podcast - Spy Masters - following the same visual language as the main podcast cover.
