Project Overview
Mary Hodder Ross, in her memoir An Unnatural Choice, recounts the heart-wrenching decision to secretly give up her child. This profound narrative required a design that was equally moving and thoughtful.
The Solution
Having access to Mary’s manuscript early on, I immersed myself in her story, allowing her vivid narrative to inspire several cover design options. The chosen design effortlessly complemented the memoir's depth and emotional journey. The design process felt almost magical, with every piece falling into place, guided by Mary’s powerful storytelling.
Impact
The book’s design played a crucial role in sharing Mary’s poignant journey, inviting readers to explore the themes of motherhood, secrecy, and healing. An Unnatural Choice stands as a beacon for speaking one’s truth, beautifully presented in a format that honours its message.
“Laura is talented and passionate about her work. She keeps her eye on the details to find the core meaning, then translates that into the visual.”
— Mary Hodder Ross
“From the moment I met Laura I knew she and I would create the perfect graphic design for my book. I felt connected to Laura and appreciated her calm but intensely interested way of listening to me.
“I told her everything I could about my story and then sent her my manuscript which she read from start to finish. From there, Laura produced several impressive images of what the cover design could be. The one I chose so accurately represented the heart of the story that it makes me emotional each time I look at my book. Laura understood my story in such depth that what appeared was me, and yet all women, in the same image. That was my hope, my greatest desire for the book cover.
“Laura is talented and passionate about her work. She keeps her eye on the details to find the core meaning, then translates that into the visual. I am truly grateful to Laura and look forward to working with her again when my next book is ready.”
Every great collaboration starts with a conversation.
