Goodnight Mister Tom - Book Cover Design

Response to a brief to create a book jacket design for Goodnight Mister Tom, a children's novel by the English author Michelle Magorian which follows the relationship of a London evacuee during WW2 housed by a disgruntled old man. The concept cleverly uses an imaginative and original idea to link both the start and end of the story to the front and back cover. The reader won’t initially realise this until they begin to read the book and find the text which talks about a pencil mark for a coat hook which symbolises coming and feeling at home in a new environment.
