-
We used pantone colours throughout instead of CMYK, and I was also so keen (and keeping my fingers crossed that we would be able) to use silver foil on the cover to highlight some of the marine life. Davina writes about an aquarium in the story and says, ‘everything there was shimmery and beautiful’ and so we really wanted the cover to have that exact feel. The text design for the internal pages is deliberately simple, and I chose a classic font because it felt right for the story, as it’s so quiet and sensitive.
