Book Covers/ Publishing

Taschen Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm & H C Andersen

I’ve worked on a number of book covers over the years, both illustrating and occasionally designing and typesetting wraparound book jackets. Publishers I’ve worked with include Headline Books, Macmillan Children’s, Vintage Books and Little, Brown. I love to create layered, silhouette illustrated book covers and designs evocative of the stories they contain inside.

One of my favourite parts of the job is to read the manuscript of a book, ahead of creating the cover. I like to delve in and take as much inspiration and detail from a story as I can, before including these details within the cover design. But I can just as easily work with a synopsis and I love equally the projects where I’m either art directed or have free rein on designing composition options.
