Commissioned by the talented Emma Grey Gelder for Penguin Books, it was a pleasure to work on the hand lettered titles for these bright and breezy covers for author, Debbie Macomber.
I enjoyed developing this spontaneous script, working loosely with a brush. I wanted the line quality to have a light and airy texture - a casual touch to complement Lucy Truman's fresh illustrations.
You'd be surprised how much practice it takes to be able to create such casual lettering, a little like dance, there's a lot of work that's goes on offstage!
