PROJECT: SHE
A young woman revisits a childhood nightmare; a little boy tries to piece together the shards of his mother’s heart; a child crouches by the banisters in a pool of shadows, wishing she could grow up faster; an old tea-plucker gazes at the wheeling stars, dreaming lost dreams.
She is a heart-wrenching collection of short stories and poems that lifts the veil from the lives of different women, giving you a glimpse into their dreams and nightmares, their heartbreak and hope.
A THEME
TO IMAGE
I had a wonderful time working on this book cover for Radhia.
From reading excerpts of the various stories in her book, a theme arose. Then the imagery solidified what would best represent the theme.
FROM DRAFT TO
FINAL DESIGN
Before getting ahead of myself, one of the most important parts of the process is to draft out initial ideas and get feedback from the client.
From there, light and dark play together, lines sharpen, and shape takes form.
