Tanjiro Kamado

Cover for Demon Slayer's protagonist, built on his green-and-black checked identity.

The Brief

A self-directed brief: redesign the Demon Slayer cover series — one character per cover, with palette, pattern and type driven by personality.

The Aim

Lead the series with Tanjiro. Bespoke typography over a city-pattern ground; his green/black check ties the whole set to the brand.
