Various audiobook covers designed
for Audible’s original content.
For The Halifax Slasher, a true crime story set in 1930s Yorkshire, I aimed to evoke the aesthetic of 1970s Italian giallo film posters. I achieved this by distorting a screaming woman's face and cranking the contrast. A dithering effect mimicked duotone/halftone, adding texture and leaning into the lo-fi nature often seen in horror film posters.
Think Like a Spy brings together real life spys recounting their experiences in the field, and how you can apply their intellegence techniques in your everyday life. I was inspired by mid-century modern illustration and 60s spy cinema for this cover. I wanted the spy to be ‘hidden’ but also the centrepiece so I created depth with the foreground elements but used very poppy colours to highlight the spy character in the background. The type treatment was chosen to evoke documents/printed ephemera to tie into the office theme.
