Competition brief: Book cover design for “How To Be A Woman” by Caitlin Moran. The book is an autobiographical look at the everyday life of women. Caitlin portrays herself as the central figure in the family, always busy keeping everyone together, hence the busy illustrative approach taken in the design with the concept that the female mind is constantly in a race
with itself. The use of pen in the illustration links to the stereotypical act of a mother writing reminder notes for herself and her family. The illustrations start at the tip of the forehead to suggest that her mind is forever in thought.
