Scope
Design in service of young readers worldwide.
Vishv Books is one of India's leading publishers, with over 1,500 titles across children's books, school textbooks, fiction, non-fiction, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and world classics. Published in more than eight languages, their books are distributed across India and internationally — reaching the Middle East, Egypt, the USA, the UK, Mexico, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, and Nepal.
The publishing house is an associate company of the Delhi Press Group, publishers of 32 magazines in nine languages and one of the largest media groups in India. Vishv Books' children's titles are particularly well regarded — award-winning, internationally designed, and built on a pedagogy of activity-based learning aligned with NCF guidelines.
Our work with Vishv Books focused on book design and cover design — bringing the same level of design thinking to educational publishing that the content itself deserved. The challenge with children's publishing is maintaining visual rigour while remaining genuinely accessible to young readers. Every design decision — grid, typography, colour, illustration placement — is in service of comprehension and delight simultaneously. That is a more demanding brief than most people realise.
