For someone who either has an extraordinary collection of books or enjoys reading very much or is a well respected writer or even just a little eccentric on the vintage way of keeping books, an Ex-libris can be the perfect signature for you.

This one was made for one of my father's associates, a doctor based near Paris, who happened to have a rather large personal library and asked me to design a bookplate expressing his personality. For the commission, I was given 3 main points of reference for the final product: his profession (doctor), his interest in books and knowledge, and the black humor that doctors and surgeons tend to have.  

I used several fonts and icons and then final product(top) was very much appreciated.

This was a very interesting project of representing the essence of a person in a few lines finding the right proportions, aesthetic and overall vibe of the person.
