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 cover silhouettes the main characters against a night sky in contrast to the ‘black-outs’ experienced by Londoners during the Blitz. The word ‘Night’ is depicted in dark to highlight the word ‘Good’ which in turn represents the good nature of Mister Tom. The cover uses light-sensitive inks that add another dimension to the cover design.
