The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.

CARLA RISING | BOOK COVER DESIGN
Maria Papaefstathiou partnered with author Topper Sherwood to create the cover of Topper's new book Carla Rising.
The book challenges war and violence as a means for resolving political / labor struggles.
A novel based on a true story.
The story of Carla Rising follows the injustice and violence endured by a real community of coal miners in the 1920s. This rugged band stands up to callous industrialists and corrupt law-enforcement officials to win decent working conditions, fair pay and greater regard for human life. Having escaped her overbearing mother’s mountain life, Carla Rising finds herself caught between two rival leaders in a workers’ rebellion against the brutal regime of a corrupt county sheriff and the Sovereign Coal Company.
Carla Rising walks a rugged path for justice as she and the miners defend their mountain settlement. The conflict ultimately draws the involvement of the US Army, whose leaders threaten to use their newest bombing planes to put a quick end to the energy war if Carla and the miners don’t back down….
I illustrated the cover to portray this hero woman and truly collectivist. A strong woman who lost her husband but continued to fight for justice, in the union. For one -her husband- and all.

Imperial Chemical Industries - the then great ICI - was the UK's largest chemical concern and it employed high standards of publicity and advertiisng for many years. This delightful book was issued in 1937 to promote the development of a new waterproofing agent 'Velan' which was launched with an exhibition at London's Dorland House. It tells the story of Hilary Hexagon (Hexagon House was interestingly the home of ICI's ex-British Dyestuffs Corporation laboratories in Blackley, Manchester, and where Velan was developed) and her quest in London to remain waterproof with the assisance of an already waterproofed duck.
The uncredited text was written by Marjorie Hayward, a press officer at ICI, and the illustrations are by the marvellous Polish born Feliks Topolski who had arrived in the UK in 1935. I've long admired his work and this is a wonderful example of his loose drawing or sketch style. The book is beautifully printed by the Plaistow, London, based Curwen Press; interesting as ICI themselves owned a superb in-house printing outfit, the Kynoch Press in Birmingham. ICI did use Curwen on occasion, possibly when Kynoch were busy?
It's a wet day in London for one top-hatted gent whilst Hilary Hexagon, with the duck in tow, strides out between showers and sunshine.

Final stages of New Skateboard Graphics book design. We’re taping every page up and looking for mistakes, inconsistencies, etc. Once its fixed, a new print-out gets taped up.
We're running out of space, this is just A–E. Its amazing to see it all in one non-digital place though.
This is a screenshot of a book cover design i am working on for a Uni assignment. The brief is to create a series of book covers for an author, the book covers need to work as a set.
Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards.

The Fantastickes was originally published in 1626.) It is the only book hand-set by Bruce Rogers, the American typographer and type designer (1870-1957). Please see Rogers' note.
I'm fortunate to have acquired a set of Howard Trafton's calendar cuts, and created this page for inclusion in the annual collaborative journal, It's a Small World.
