Books

Ere! This was my design for the Penguin Design Award.
I didn't win it. Not sure why but such is life!
This rendition is made from three layers of screen printed millboard.





The competition started me on a new project to redisgn a series of classic books from my youth, each of which has retained its gravity when I've reread them as an adult. I created a style to use across all of the covers and then printed each of them in different ways onto different materials.

Goodnight Mister Tom: Inked exposure on lithographic plate
The Secret Garden: Screen print on stained wood
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Lithograph on shiney white card
Lord of the Flies: Screen print on bookcloth
The Snow Queen: Laser-etching on acrylic mirror

Good for touching up your make-up.
