Wrestling Worlds

For Little, Brown, Philipp Beck produces the cover art and custom lettering for 'Lords of the Ring', Dan Higgins’ examination of professional wrestling, politics and identity.

Phillipp's art is the face of Dan Higgins' book, which looks at the influence of professional wrestling beyond the confines of the ring.

Drawing on a style shaped by vintage print and poster design, Philipp was well suited to a subject built on larger-than-life personas. The cover reflects the theatrical nature of professional wrestling, while custom lettering across the cover and spine reinforces its bold visual character.
