Publisher’s Brief:
“The cover brief was an open-ended doozy: ‘is there some perfect middle-ground between gorgeous type-based design and commercially successful person-in-the-bush?!’
Brief: For the cover, we wanted to overlay type with plant. Sophie did an amazing job staging and shooting this. It symbolises the connectedness of everything, words, stories, nature and plant.”
