Great series by new author Sophia Bennett. Fashion, friendship and more fashion, she couldn't really go wrong!

GIRL, ALOUD

If you're like me and LOATHE the whole reality TV thing, then this is the book for you!

CHICKEN HOUSE

Concepts for a new title from Chicken House; ballet book with an edge.

FAB!

Remember these? Seemed the perfect image for Anne Fine's latest novel, very very funny!

VAMPIRES

Name me a publisher who hasn't jumped on the Vampire band wagon... and a designer who hasn't resorted to the old dripping-red-nail-varnish trick. Guilty!

LIZ RETTIG

One of my favourite teen fiction authors right now. Takes me back a (very) long way to the angst of those teenage years. The two Secret Diary covers were the first we designed for Liz. The colour graphics were printed on a trace overlay, with the type showing through on the cover beneath it. This created a funky and fresh feel which has been very well received. Jumping to Confusions is the latest one. The trace thing didn't really work with this image so thanks to Emma at Random House, we now have funky foils!

BEAR GRYLLS - GOLD OF THE GODS

Born Survivor Bear Grylls turns his hand to teenage fiction. Jerry and I were asked to design a series look that reflects the boys' own/survival market. We were briefed to produce a lenticular central image (the boy is animated, with the image changing as you look at it from different angles.) Just received the lenticular proofs from China where they were printed - they look fab!

CONCEPT

Idea submitted to Bloomsbury for this ultra chic chit-lit title! Artwork style inspired by a recent trip to France...

EARLY IDEAS

A concept submitted for this fantastic new book; Betwitched meets Desperate Housewives...

MEG CABOT

Rachel Vale, Art Director at MacMillan asked me to come up with these quirky covers to sit under her fab jackets for the two most recent ALLIE FINKLE titles. Great fun to do!

THE POISONED APPLES

This was the first job I did for MacMillan; a wonderful twist on the evil stepmother theme for teenagers.

ANTHONY HOROWITZ

Another fab commission for Jerry and me; this time we were asked to repackage Anthony Horowitz's horror titles for Orchard. This open brief appealed to Jerry's sense of the macabre and for once I let him run with it...




A big thankyou to Tim Rose, Art Director at Orchard, who ensured really good quality print on these.

ANNE FINE

This was a dream job for me; to redesign all this prolific author's titles on the Random House backlist. I came up with the design and commissioned Jerry to paint the vignettes to give them a classy, timeless feel. The final covers have doodles and swirls in glittery foil along the stripey backgrounds.
