View profile- Design Rationale
-
The Glad Shout is an extraordinary novel about motherhood and climate change that is poetic, confronting, raw and breathtakingly beautiful. The publisher hoped it would appeal to Mother’s Day buyers, so I was careful to convey the novel’s divergent qualities and produce an aesthetically appealing product. The delicate texture of tissue paper, which I’ve worked with before, perfectly captures the unique beauty and simplicity of the author’s voice. The design communicates the novel is personal but leaves room for audience interpretation. The form can be seen to resemble a woman, and her turned head could suggest she’s cradling a baby.
