The Jim Vaus Book Series follows the story of my grandfather who was a wiretapper for celebrities, the LAPD, and the LA mob. Each book is written through a different point of view: my grandfather, my grandmother, and my father.
I redesigned the cover of each book, the spine, and several inside pages. The visual system was inspired by espianage and crime design - specifically focusing on the fast paced and rebellious nature of my grandfather.
