Project from the Penguin Design Award. For the cover I used a skull as a striking symbol of death. I decided to construct the skull myself using aluminium wire and moulded a wire mesh around the frame. The shape was then formed from air drying clay. The cover image is designed to draw in the viewer with simple typography, giving the image a greater impact. The flowing coloured ribbons symbolise the main charaters last victim who was a red haired young woman. The image flows onto the back cover leading the viewer around the book.
