Angella has just finished the cover design for this interesting new book By Anne Marie Bezdrob.
For two years, in the midst of the conflict in Bosnia, Anné Mariè du Preez Bezdrob was a United Nations peacekeeper in the besieged city of Sarajevo. As a resident of the city, she was no partial observer, but became passionately involved in individual lives, sharing the Sarajevans’ terrors and hard-won joys.
Calling the mortar scars ‘roses’ is symbolic of how Sarajevans faced the horror and privation of the war in Bosnia – with extraordinary courage, inventiveness and wry humour. As her story unfolds, we sense this same irrepressible spirit in the author herself.
During the process of designing this cover the book’s title changed several times and Angella did some beautiful design work and alternate covers that never made the final cut but are still worth checking out. Iaminawe also designed the identity for Oshun.
