With a Whistle in the Dark
Designed by Nuno M.
Available to hire ⏺"Here I used manual collage artwork to convey a raw, fragmented aesthetic, reflecting the book’s dark autobiographical themes. A partially obscured figure overlaid with abstract shapes and textures emphasizes distortion and disconnection, mirroring the narrative’s introspective nature. Muted, earthy tones and rough textures evoke a somber mood, while the abstract elements suggest fragility and hidden layers. Finally, the elegant typography balances the chaotic visuals with a sense of clarity."
Designer: Peter S.
Concord
Designed by Peter S.
Available to hire ⏺"For this historical novel set in Concord, New Hampshire, during the time of Emerson and Thoreau (both characters in the novel), I thought, 'Since the setting is the main character, why not depict it?' I searched for period prints and found an engraving that I enhanced by reinforcing the black lines and adding color. The title font, Helsing, offers a hand-drawn, period look with a touch of wit that suits the story. I finessed the sweeping descender in the capital 'R' to preserve its charm."

The Vicar Takes A Wife
Designed by Patrick K.
Available to hire ⏺"A sort of ‘Jane Austen goes West’ narrative this book needed to have a slightly humorous feel without being overtly funny. The tension between the two characters - a prostitute and a vicar - in Texas in 1877 is shown with the relationship between the various incongruous images, and the toned-down palette and typographic styling help to give a sense of the old photos of the period."
Designer: David P.
The Order of Nature
Designed by David P.
Available to hire ⏺"This novel tells of the struggles of being a gay man in Gambia. The profile suggests the main character and the pattern provides context. I looked at West African textiles for the appropriate color palette and geometry."
