Book design<\/mark><\/strong> for a very special, personal project.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since she retired, my mum has established an incredibly inspiring, consistent writing practice. She only shares her work with family, friends, and her writer\u2019s group, so my brother John and I are lucky to receive each story via email as she completes it. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my mum shifted to writing vignettes, and my brother suggested binding them into a book as a family keepsake. I drew some Manitoba wildflowers, ran a few cover options past everyone, and then set to work laying out the interior pages. \u2063\u2063

Like so many families, our family couldn’t be together in person during the pandemic, so this collaboration from afar felt a bit like a family reunion. \u2063\u2063<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
