Climate Collapse? by Arkbound Foundation
A collection of texts exploring climate change and what we can do to prevent it.
1. Approaching the topic in a slightly softer, optimistic interpretation of the subject. The use of brown paper as a symbol of sustainability and the sun to convey heat and warmth.
2. The idea that we can prevent further damage by moving/stopping/change, illustrated by a row of matches.
3. An Earth flag at half mast to signify the world being in distress.
Back to the Fuchsia, T. S Idiot
A collection of every day moments (in all their sadness and small joys) presented in a 12 hour window. The author describes it being written 'when there was nothing to laugh about and everything was silent' alongside the grief of losing friends and loved ones. I went with soft and delicate visual of the floral title, to represent bittersweetness between the subject matter and the work that arose from it. I placed the fuchsias touching one another to imply the idea of connection.
Talking to a Pie about Walking the Dog, Katy Fraser
The author was diagnosed with ADHD in her early fifties and the book explores the 'elaborate mess that looked like how living life felt.'
1. Utilising literal iconography of the book alongside a cut-out style font that suggests the connection to the childhood experience.
2. Utilising literal iconography of the book in a quirky format which follows the tone of language, alongside a handwritten font to portray the personal storytelling nature of the book.
3. An abstract portrayal of an ADHD brain. Vibrant and contrasting colors that convey energy and movement within an asymmetrical design flow. Emphasizing that neurodivergence does not conform to typical patterns.
Blood Red Sky, Sara Williamson
A fiction title set in Fife, it follows the story of a 15 year old care experienced Scottish boy who is remanded into custody on suspicion of starting a fire at his school. Language used within the book is distinctly ‘Fife’ so it was important to use iconography directly linked of the town, such as the promenade and the ferris wheel. As the storyline revolves around a death and a fire, the visual representation of a blood red sky is both literal and interpretive.
