LURID & CUTE - Adam Thirlwell
Adam Thirlwell is the author of Politics and The Escape. He has twice been selected as one of Granta’s Best of British Novelists. His new novel is a surburban noir. The title called out for a contemporary, bright gaudy typographic approach. We commissioned Letman of the Big Active agency. His handmade style touches the boundries of illustration, grafitti and graphic design. Letman created a geometric design using felt tip as his medium. We particularly liked the way the felt tips give a slightly blurred line to the edges. The technique is full of nostalgia but the cover feels fresh and contemporary.
