These covers focused on a letter form to provide contextual understanding of the content.
In Carrie Fisher’s “The Princess Diarist”, I used the letter P, comprised of an image of Carrie holding a pen, along with a diary and Big Ben to depict the time and place in which the book was set – 1970’s London during the filming of the first ‘Star Wars’ movie.
In Peter Heller’s “The Whale Warriors”, I used the letter W, a watercolour image of whale’s tail with a harpoon to depict the man versus nature aspect of the Japanese whaling fleet’s actions in Australia’s southern whale sanctuary.
In Bruce Pascoe’s “Dark Emu”, I used the letter D, drawn in the sand and photographed with a wave washing over it to represent the colonisation of Australia and the deliberate and systematic erasure of Indigenous Australia’s own scientific and agricultural culture and histories.
