I had so much fun designing and project managing this book! We wanted a cover that said summer read, adventure, LA, and maybe a little bit Tarantino. Also one that showed our unique heroine – a retired art thief. For the interior design I suggested adding a teaser illustration for each chapter — which really brought some fun to the book — picking out a quirky detail or event from each chapter for it. I then chose a trio of the chapter graphics to represent the entire story on the back cover and title page, creating a cohesive overall design. They will also be fun for the author to use in the book marketing — along with the hot pink, yellow, orange colour palette!
