Exeter Publishing, located in Rhode Island, was a publishing company that was established in 2020 by Katrina Thornley and myself. Currently, EP is on hiatus.

For this project, I was in charge of commissioning an illustrator to draw the art for the cover, putting together the final book layout and editing the interior copy.

We wanted the cover to feature some kind of earthy element to tie back to the title and our illustrator gave us a quick education in the language of flowers before this cover was born!

We wanted to keep it quite minimal is terms of design, so we ended up going with a bouquet in the center. It helped to balance the design by featuring the type on the bottom.
