Book-cover designer Yulia Brodskaya answers a few questions on the design-process.
~ How did this book inspire your cover artwork?
I always enjoy incorporating typography into my paper work, that's why the task to create a cover based on the most known or key phrases/citations from the book was just the right one for me.
For the lettering I used numerous swirls and curls to emphasize the flamboyant nature of Regency Style.
~ Did you approach the design like any other book, or did it feel that these ones were a little special?
This cover was quite special for me because that was the first time when I used black and white paper stripes only (usually my paper quilling works are very colourful and use white or light background).
~ What else do you associate with the colour red?
energy, attention, USSR
