Behind the scenes and ways of working... The design process can take unexpected turns. When we started working on the upcoming @mwbewick book of poetry, we mocked up some covers using Dymo tape for lettering. In our digital age, its DIY and lo-fi sensibility looked like an option. We even have some test samplers where it's used. Then we started to see Dymo being used in other places for other brands. It's always so interesting how disparate minds can arrive at the same idea at the same time. So, while it didn't invalidate the use of Dymo, it wasn't taken forward into our final designs. Let's see how much Dymo we see in the next couple of years! . . . . . #bookdesign #dymo #design #illustration #poetry #poems #poetrycommunity #poetrycollection #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #alternativepress #smallpublishers #lovebooks #typography #type #fonts

More interior views. The hallway. Taken from the upcoming @mwbewick poetry collection, more details coming soon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * #interior #instart #abstractart #indiepublishing #newbook #independentpress #pomes #smallpublisher #artonpaper #poetrybook #newpoetry #lovereading #newwork #inkblots #interiorviews #lovepoetry #newwriting #lovewriting #poetrycommunity #newcollection #poetrycollection #instapoet #poetryoninstagram

It looks like this is going to be an increasingly familiar view... right by the estuary, and the houses letting us know there's our lovely local community out there too. This picture is actually part of the scrapbook images from our next book, a collection of poetry from @mwbewick - more on that in due course, but in the meantime it looks like the motto is to stay safe and remain helpful to others. . . . . . #indiepublishing #alternativepress #rooftops #viewfromhere #wivenhoe #monochrome #landscapephotography #workingfromhome #socialdistancing

Creating a new book is always an art project for us at Dunlin Press, where the words and pictures work together, and where the design reflects the aims of the project. It means we take inspiration from far and wide. Here's a yellowed picture of a yellow lithograph by #RobynDenny, which has been providing us with inspiration for years now. . . . . #comingsoon #newwork #art #poetrybook #poety #artanddesign #bookdesign #lithograph #creativelife #creativespace #poetrycommunity #artistoninstagram #archivalprints #artist #instart #indiepublishing #independentpress #smallpublisher #artonpaper

We've been developing the artwork for our two 2020 books since the start of the year. In this sketchbook are the earliest tryouts for one of them. More soon. We're getting quite excited. . . . . . #newbooks #newwork #newwriting #workinprogress #artwork #bookillustration #illustration #sketchbook #comingsoon #designprocess #bookdesign #newpoetry #poetry #poems #poetrycommunity #poetrycollection #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram
