Book-cover designer Jonny Hannah answers a few questions on the design-process.
~ How did this book inspire your cover artwork?
I needed to make something with antiquity in it, but also something quite fraught. So the two ingredients of a flower pattern, and frantic handwriting seemed to fit the bill. It was fairly easy, as I'd illustrated an article about the Brontes for the Sunday telegraph a couple of years ago. It's all about it having the right flavour. I tried listening to Kate Bush, but it sadly didn't help.
~ Any thoughts on the Penguin/RED partnership?
Not many, other than we need more of these collaborations. Our tough times need a more long-term humanitarian approach to everyday life, or our x-factor style of selfishly seeking the short time is going to have us coming unstuck. And Aids now seems like a part of yesteryear, the media's forgotten about it & it gets spoken about less & less.
~ What else do you associate with the colour red?
My favourite 50's flannel shirt. Hammer horrors. A colour I can't screenprint without. Robert Burns’ poems.
