Friendship at Flat Creek Road
Book Design
Client: Hanna Kraft, fiction author
Project: Book Design: (logo, cover illustration, cover design, hand-lettered type, book formatting, interior illustrations)
Friendship at Flat Creek Road is the second novel in a middle-grade series featuring a girl living in the 1930s. I was challenged to create a cover with a vintage, and slightly feminine aesthetic, and featuring the themes of rural farm life, family, and the diary. Thus, I created a black and white drawing featuring a rural landscape and house, and I used frame corners to allude to the diary. The handlettered word ‘Friendship’ also helps gear the book towards younger readers.
