I was overjoyed to be invited to design and illustrate this guide to being happier, healthier and succeeding better, from Sunday Times<\/em> bestselling author Elizabeth Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by Red Shed, Failosophy For Teens <\/em>is an inspiring and empowering guide to those moments when life doesn\u2019t go to plan. Using personal experience and stories shared by guests on her award-winning podcast, How to Fail,<\/em> Elizabeth\u2019s book is full of creative and inspiring advice on how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– talk openly about failure
– turn failure into success
– build resilience for when life sends you curveballs
– reframe negative thoughts about yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As designer and illustrator I was tasked was to create an engaging cover based on Elizabeth Day’s original adult title Failosophy<\/a>, alongside inviting interiors to support and (hopefully!) enhance the text. I particularly enjoyed illustrating the conceptual artwork. I wanted to communicate the philosophy, feelings and practices of Elizabeth’s book, and really make the most of the design space I was given. I hope the illustrations not only decorate, but also help support the text especially where there are more complex ideas. Its rare to get to work on something less literal and I absolutely loved it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
