A companion to the Crime Puzzles book in the 60-Second Puzzles series, the Pencil-Free Puzzle book packs over 200 word-based brain teasers that can be solved in 60 seconds, or less (so they say). Having designed a series delightful non-digital distractions during my time at the School of Visual Arts, taking on this assignment was a no-brainer.

Every spread of the book includes stylized illustrations that follow a similar iconic style as the Crime Puzzles title, but skewing more simple, bold, and graphic with more clean geometric expressions.
To compliment the Crime Puzzles book we also designed and produced this one entirely with two spot colors — black and a neon blue, on a bright white matte silk stock with the outer edges also painted in the matching neon blue— you can’t miss it on the shelf despite its compact size.
