Designer Spotlight: Kate Hargreaves
The multi-talented Kate Hargreaves (aka, Pain Eyre), author of Leak (BookThug, Fall 2014), is also an extremely talented book designer (not to mention a skilled roller derby player-now do you get the Pain Eyre reference?). Formerly the in-house book designer at Biblioasis, Hargreaves’ designs will be instantly familiar to many, given the fact that she designed TWO of the books on the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlist (Martin John by Anakana Schofield and Arvida by Samuel Archibald). We’re thrilled to announce that Kate has designed two covers for our forthcoming spring 2016 season: Waiting Room by Jennifer Zilm and Buoyancy Control by Adrienne Gruber!
Today we’re paying tribute to some of Kate’s beautiful and unique designs. Enjoy!
