The imagery has a menacing overtone, and the subtitle font is reminiscent of typewriters of the time. Or, could be I'm just a biased Francophile. C'est la vie! :-) Either way, wonderful design! Congratulations! And it has been a pleasure working with you this past year judging these covers. Thank you Helen for the opportunity. Looking forward to the next year of candidates.Tamianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254175848595223070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804142297590807485.post-4963942693022238412017-12-29T16:21:08.766+01:002017-12-29T16:21:08.766+01:00Interestingly Richard - I like that one too.
