We all have that one book. The one that stayed with us long after the final page was turned - and whose cover art is just as much a part of the memory as the story itself.
Welcome to The Dust Jacket Project. We’re recreating your favourite book cover, but with a twist: I’m going to teach you how to cheat.
I’ve spent over a decade in art and design, and I’ve learned that ‘talent’ is often just knowing which shortcuts to take. I’m going to show you the dirty secrets professionals use.
Bring that one book that changed your life (or just the one with the coolest spine). Whether it’s a gritty thriller, a bonk-buster or a simple classic, we’re going to figure out why it looks so good - and then recreate it ourselves.
High-concept, low-stress, and significantly more productive than a doom scroll. You’ll be surrounded by people who appreciate a good book, for 90 minutes of creative theft.
Cheaper than a first-edition, and way more fun.
Ticket price includes:
- Coffee, tea & croissants (for AM workshops)
- A glass of bubbles (or a mocktail) and some nibbles (for PM workshops)
- 90 minutes of Gemma giving it her best shot
