Wet Apples, White Blood

This is probably one of the best executed covers when it comes to visually interpreting the title. The drop has a UV gloss varnish. This is a poetry book that I think derives from the concept of a nursing mother or nurse.

I just talked to Drummond about this cover and he states the following:

"Admittedly this was a tough one to find a way of illustrating a “nursing mother” without being graphic or overly sentimental. Whenever I am working on a cover design I always try to find the simplest expression of an idea and to present it in an unusual way. I wanted all the focus to be on the white drop on the red background which is why I pushed the type down to the bottom. This cover wouldn’t have worked without the spot UV varnish and I must say I have an amazing client who will add more to the budget for the sake of the design. I had done another poetry cover, “The Silver Palace Restaurant”, which also uses a spot varnish in a similar way. The whole cover is matte with the spot UV applied only on the butter melting on the pan."



Thanks David!
