Designed by Tom Muller.
The book is about "13 mindbending SF shorts of alien teachers, pregnant SuperHeroines, a caretaker who runs an after-school chain-gang for miscreants, the scariest petshop in the world and much more...."
Below are some of Tom's responses to a few questions.
What was your process:
The process was pretty straight forward. The book was going to be the 'standard' TPB approach (full colour cover with B/W interior). I had browsed through the book, which is a collection of short stories, so there wasn't really a central character popping out, except the title, which also is the setting of the stories (it's a school).
So I had the idea of using the name and the iconography of a school crest but filtered through a 'robotic' theme if you will.
Did you do any other concepts outside of this chosen solution:
No, not really. I was experimenting at first with photographic/scanning bits of old cameras and cell phones to make up the robot, but the results were quite horrid (if I say so myself), so I decided to start from scratch and build the robot in illustrator.
