Book cover for the Puffin Children's book 'Carrie's War', by Nina Bawden. The cover uses vector illustration in the form of a repeat pattern, symbolizing metaphorically the many different World War 2 stories- the setting of the book, represented through the suitcases and warplanes. A single suitcase is then picked out in a feminine pink as a symbol of protagonist Carrie’s story, her ‘war’, standing out against the otherwise neutral, more traditional war-referring brown tone. Also the white band provides a subtle reference to the classic
Penguin book design.
