P.D James "The Children of Men" book design 1





Brief:

Re-design a book cover from a selection of old books by penguin. We was only able to use two colours, blue 299c and Black and the type had to be hand generated.

I hand painted this illustration, mainly to get away from the computer and out of my comfort zone, though I thoroughly enjoyed this process.

The book is about the end of fertility and mankind, though a woman becomes pregnant and the baby is the only way mankind can persue. So I thought it would be a good idea to focus on the baby, for example the health of the heart, creating a seance of anxiety, is the heart beating or is it not.
