The designs will be showing at Surtex next year in Booth #250 where Stacey's portfolio will be available for sale and licensing - including these lovely new woodland creatures.

Yesterday's book design special looked at the covers created by Mr.Boddington's studio for Anthropologie, and today I am posting some of their Christmas Holiday designs. I love the chic simplicity of the green striped tree above and the cheerful colours on the triangle trees below. See more from Mr.Boddington here.
Todays posts all feature book cover designs. This is another area of great interest to illustrators, card designers, and anyone with an interest in graphics and pattern. These are some fine examples from Mr.Boddingston's Studio who have given a fresh look to a selection of Penguin Classics exclusively for Anthropologie.
The Flavour Thesaurus released in 2010 is possibly my favourite book cover of all time. It is an award winning design by the Grade Design Studio for publisher Bloomsbury and features a simple graphic in a gorgeous colour palette on warm grey. See this design and more books designed by Grade online here.
Spotted on display in Heals this Christmas...
