-
Aimed at a predominantly female student population studying teacher education, the brief was to portray different socio-cultural factors that influence a child’s development on the cover. The design approach was to use the image of roads in a community (literal “paths” of development), some going in circles, some criss-crossing, to reflect that intellectual and social development aren’t necessarily straightforward. Illustrator (insert name of illustrator here) was commissioned for her child-like, yet sophisticated illustration style. The design for the internals and choice of typography were then based around this main cover illustration.
