Globe Law and Business

The Brief
Globe Law and Business, established in 2005 as part of Globe Business Media Group, set out to publish high-level legal titles written by leading professionals — including contributors from Magic Circle law firms and top international companies.

I was briefed to design a recognisable and cohesive cover and grid system for over 200 legal publications. These books varied in subject matter and size, and the design needed to be timeless — able to withstand long print cycles — while also avoiding issues around sourcing or licensing imagery.

The Creative Solution
Working within these constraints, I developed a flexible colour and gradient system, paired with a consistent layout and elegant gold typography to unify the collection. Each book was colour-coded according to its subject area, creating a visual filing system that made the range easy to navigate and organise — both on shelves and online.

The result was a distinctive, modern, and highly functional design system that remains in use at Globe Law and Business today. All titles are available for purchase on the GLB website.
