Prunes and Rupe by Lydia Griffin & Judith HuntPublished by Filter Press
My first picturebook pre-press job from beginning to end. This was the dust jacket design. Required font manipulation, pantone colors being chosen, vector work using permission free Victorian designs put out by Dover Publications. The designs may be free, but you have to clean them up! Then I had to change them to fit the back cover illustration of the stack of pancakes.
I designed the back cover and the 1900's western style title lettering to convey both the time period and West ....the story was about a miner and his burro in the small town of Fairplay in 1900's Colorado.
This was a fun job fitting it all together, getting the images just right, playing with font manipulation and shading, resizing a portion of an interior illustration for the story summary flap, working with the illustrators' and author's images...and finally making the publisher's logo fit on the very tiny spine without disappearing.
