-
Lorelei is a friend of mine and I loved her heart-warming, moving manuscript, so in wanting to do my very, VERY best I applied too much pressure and froze! After I calmed down and re-read the brief and went back through the photographs supplied of Lorelei in her incredible dresses, I realised I needn’t freak out; it was about choosing the most appealing image and making it the focal point, and working the typography and colour palette around it. I loved this particular image because it’s beautiful and bold but also playful and captures the humorous element of the book.
