The cover design for Blood Red came together very organically. I was hired as a freelancer by Restless Books and worked with Alison Gore who art directed the project. The cover memo had very specific and interesting art direction, Alison even provided a Spotify playlist for the book (which was a first for me!) and a Pinterest board of images. I was excited to begin working on it.

Blood Red by Gabriella Ponce and translated by Sarah Booker is a novel written like a fragmented narration by a female protagonist going through a break-up and an unplanned pregnancy. She is forced to confront her body in a new way and there are a lot of striking visuals. The novel is an exploration of sexuality, menstruation, the female form, and the conflicts women face with pregnancy and motherhood.
