The author, Marsha Rhea Gordon, contacted me to design the book jacket for her new historical fiction and self help book “Girl of Fire & Faith: Hope, Empowerment & Inspiration from Joan of Arc.” I had around a week to complete the project. I gave the client a number of options using icons and imagery related to Joan such as the fleur-de-lis and her white banner on which it was shown. From there, we narrowed it down and through a few rounds of iterations we landed on the chosen cover. The final version worked best for the client as it speaks to the turmoil of Joan’s life, the light above guiding her, and the immortalized figure that we know Joan as today.
