This book cover design for the dissertation ‘On Being Different: Exploring the Relationship Between Dissimilarity and Social Inclusion in the Workplace’ visually encapsulates the core themes of diversity and inclusion through a thoughtful combination of typography and hand-drawn illustrations. The front and back covers feature a collection of minimalistic, expressive character sketches representing diverse individuals. A single character, highlighted in blue, symbolizes the concept of "being different" while still being connected to the collective, reinforcing the book’s message of inclusion.

The custom typography enhances the design’s uniqueness, using an intentionally irregular yet structured style that mirrors the balance between individuality and unity in the workplace. The clean, neutral background allows the illustrations and typography to stand out, creating a visually engaging and conceptually rich cover.

This design effectively conveys the book’s exploration of workplace diversity and the importance of embracing differences, making it both eye-catching and meaningful.
