Working on this project was a great learning experience as I was asked to approach cover design from another worldview: one where indigenous understandings of balance, colours, and meaning came before western/european design theory’s ideas. Another way of looking at it was “who is your audience?” and how do you communicate successfully with them?
In addition to the cover, I created the interior design for the book using thoughtfully chosen fonts that were originally created in partnership with the Cherokee.
