-
Romance are renowned for their crazy colours, spectacular beading, bling and beautiful prints. Our aim was not to compete with that, but rather to create a sophisticated, timeless book that showcases it. The cover became ‘the pink brick’ with its pink book block. We wanted it to feel like something you might stumble across in ‘Romance Was Born’ land – laying next to the glitter fountain. It’s such an emotive brand name, so working with that as the title to create a graphic cover seemed a strong direction. Due to budget constraints, I photographed the flat-lays myself.
