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.
Lullaby in the Desert, Morgan Azar
A novel that explores the escape of an arranged marriage, the daily threat of racial prejudice and a violent patriarchal society.
The Shadow of my Ancestral Tree, Nasha Solim
This book is about breaking generational trauma and paying homage to those who broke their backs planting trees, so that we would feel their shade.
Serendipity, Maria de Fatima Santos
A representation of the love between a grandmother and the other a granddaughter, with the flower representing their connection. It could be interpreted as handing something down, be it knowledge or wisdom (as is common with grandparent-grandchild bonds), to help them flourish. The forest context represents the author's love of nature.
Rainbow Punch, Lauren A. Hayhurt
I wanted the bright contrasting colours to represent the punch – a visual punch if you like.
Perestroika, Joao Cerqueria
A historical fiction novel set in the late Communist era. With themes of revenge and redemption, I mimicked the visual language of communist propaganda posters during the Russian Revolution. References of mechanics and protest, combined with striking typography and a red, black and white colour palette.
Cameron's Choice, Angela Bettoni
The story of a 12-year-old boy who wants to transform himself into an image of his cool older brother Derek. It leads to a life of conflict between the two.
Silenda, Kelsie Stoker
A YA novel set in the neon-lit, urban, Gotham-like city.
Cupid's a Psycho, Jen M. Gale
A contemporary love story set in Glasgow that deals with an intense relationships between 3 teenagers. As a YA text, I kept it fully illustrative.
1. An angsty, grungey visualisation of the love triangle – a kiss with a fist approach.
2. Based on the Marina Abramović's 1980 performance Rest Energy.
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.
