"Set in a satirical future, Blake Hamner's PR chaos for an inept president and his deadly mechanical hounds inspired this design. I depicted the novel's absurdity by using a happy sticker to mask the terrifying dog’s face. I aimed for originality with this book cover, combining a political propaganda-style illustration with humor.The illustration style and colors are inspired by Soviet propaganda, and I combined various typographic elements to reflect the constructed nature of the storytelling."

"The sense of place was important to the book, based on the author's childhood. We used Google Maps images of a large estate as a starting point to highlight the theme of wealth disparity, which was a key theme in the book. The unusual rendering of the trees and the slightly off-color palette add a unique touch to the cover."

"Esther Lawton’s novel required a mystical feel and a sense of journey. Set in the ancient Middle East, the cover needed to evoke intrigue and beauty, reflecting the introspective nature of the story. The crackled surface, distressed edges, and hand lettering enhance the feeling of an old but timeless tale. The relationship between the watching bird and the traveler creates an intriguing tension, adding depth to the cover’s design."
