O čem govorim, ko govorim o teku

My design for H. Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, a book which covers author's four month preparation for the 2005 NYC Marathon. Since it is a memoir on running, I turned pages into kilometers, so that reader can run the page marathon, while the author is surmounting his road distances.

Hvala Lukatu za zgornje fotke, in bratu ki se je trikrat preoblekel da sem lahko pofotkala naslovko. :)

Raje Platona kot pomirjevala!

My cover design for Plato, Not Prozac! by Lou Marinoff.

"Platonovo optimistično stališče je, da si moramo prizadevati zgraditi ta boljši svet, namesto da zapravljamo energijo za odkrivanje načina, kako jo odnesti brez posledic. Platon je imel za to utopijo v mislih podrobno politično vizijo. Vendar mislim, da so posamezna dejanja in osebna odgovornost prvi temeljni kamni. ... Osebno bi rad živel v svetu, kjer bi se ljudje izogibali nekaterim početjem, ker so napačna, ne samo zato, ker bi se bali, da jih bodo zasačili." (225)

My hometown. June 2011.

Služkinje

The Help, a novel by Kathryn Stockett. Above is my cover design, depicting the "separate bathrooms" motif - the story takes place in early 1960's Jackson, Mississippi, where white residents are advised to build garage toilets for their colored maids. Catch a glimpse of that in a movie trailer.

Služkinje je prevedla Dušanka Zabukovec, uredila Ana Ugrinović, izšle pa so pri Mladinski knjigi.

Šablonce

Prejšnji torek je v Konzorciju potekala delavnica šabloniranja, pod vodstvom Oloopk. Za s sabo sem dobila golobčkasto šablonco, ki je trojno pristala nad domačim vzglavjem. Vzglavniki so pri nas doma stvar osebne izbire (od tod rahla diskrepanca med pouštroma).
We visited a workshop the other day and I've got a mightily nice dove stencil there. It ended up on a bedroom wall. And just in case you were wondering: the huge dotty thing is in my possession.

Ne povej nikomur

Tell No One by Harlan Coben. The first thriller book design I grappled with (lots of firsts this season!). And a fairly decent read, if you're fond of the genre.

SJ sem jo oblikovala, prelomila in počečkala predpapir.

Pisanice

Center Evropa, dva tedna plus dva dni nazaj. Barvanje in okraševanje pirhov. Z akrili, z bleščicami pa s koščki prtičkov, nato še s haklci in pentljicami. Za hobi ustvarjalce so - na moje vegansko veselje - na voljo plastična in stiroporna jajca. Taka bela pa lepo zaobljena prijazno vabijo, da jih takoj potunkamo v barvo.

I was recently invited to hold an easter egg dyeing workshop. We coloured fake eggs with acrylic and glitter paints. The paper napkin technique, fancily known as decoupage, was also used. Later on, the eggs were equipped with ribbons and fishing lines, so that they can happily hang from ceilings and trees.
