BOOK COVER DESIGN RATIONALE
This series design depicts three essays from the book 'Gentle and Fierce.' To bind the series, line illustrations and coloured paper were incorporated into the designs. ‘Mink Coat’ displays the author noticing reflections of her lineage within herself while looking into a mirror, while ‘Frank the Bear’ symbolises individuals mentioned within the essay, the author, her grandfather, and Frank. Lastly, ‘Rabbit Island’ hints how the moon's craters form the shape of a rabbit and how people regularly joked about eating the author’s rabbit. The moon also represents a plate, with the ‘invisible rabbit’ ready to be eaten.
