The Left Hand of Darkness
Book Cover Design
This is a design proposal for a new edition of The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin. It’s a classic science fiction novel and I drew the illustration after being inspired by a passage in the book that describes the landscape of the planet ‘Winter’, which has twin volcanoes and arctic conditions.
“I hope no heavy snow falls until we have got over the evil ground between this place and the glacier-arm we saw some miles to the west from the ridge. It seems to be a wide ice-river running down from the plateau between two mountains, volcanoes, both capped with steam and smoke.”
“We now see the ice-river to be miles wide: the ‘arm’ between Drumner and Dremogle is only one finger, and we are now on the back of the hand.”
Docklands Illustrated Magazine
Illustration and Magazine Design
This is a magazine designed for a small exhibition about the people that worked and lived in the London Docklands areas before the war. The magazine features testimonies from dock workers, alongside portrait sketches and pen drawn illustrations I drew from original photographs.
