John Murray Book Cover

Book cover design
Competition
In response to the poems writted by Amanda Quaid in her book ‘No Obvious Distress’, I designed a cover with a floral theme that links to the themes in the book. I chose carnations in particular as they have a link to motherhood. The idea was to take something as beautiful as a flower
and disect and scan it in to create a clinical effect.

This outcome was shortlisted for the 2025 John Murray Originals book cover competition.
