Blissful Book Cover Design

  • Claudine Curran

I had the opportunity to design a book cover for author Anastasiia Dehtiarova. Some keywords that guided the designs: inspirational, strong, funny, reflective, joyful The first 2 options were concepts, which were later refined into the final artwork.

Ana has a real affinity and connection with the ocean, so we used a stunning picture from Hawaii. The kaleidoscope graphic represents the idea of looking within yourself and loving whatever is there. While the delicate typography represents the vulnerability Ana has shown by sharing her story. “I see it as a virtuous cycle: knowing yourself leads to loving yourself and being better, and those results motivate you to learn more about who you are, and what you’re capable of.” — Ana
