From Arthur’s Seat
I designed the book jacket and typeset the manuscript for the University of Edinburgh's annual creative writing anthology, published in partnership with Egg Box Publishing.
Bookcover
My inspiration for the cover was postcards; the anthology is a collection of work from writers from around the world, that came together to study at the University of Edinburgh. The back blurb is handwritten by one of the writers, Merel de Beer, and acts as the "note" written from the anthology's contributors to the readers. The stamp, featured on the back cover and the spine, was inspired by From Arthur's Seat logo, which is inspired by St Giles Cathedral. The sunset can be seen through the cupola, and so I drew inspiration from this to recreate an evening scene of the Edinburgh skyline.
The color scheme evokes CMYK to celebrate the printed word.
Social Media Graphics
Above are examples of some of the graphics that I created to promote the book. The image on the right is the logo I created for our podcast, the design is modeled after the stamp I created for the back cover. The image on the left is an example of an image I created for our social media posts to announce that we had a successful first print run.
Website
Above is an example of the accompanying website,
which was created following my art direction by Natasha Grodzinski.
Gin Label
For the release party of the anthology, author Russell Jones created an infused gin using ingredients that represented our diverse cohort. I designed the label following the branding guideline for the anthology.
Gin in Action
It made a mean G&T, one was handed out with every purchase of the anthology.
