The “S” word again. One of the jobs from earlier this year is now available for purchase from publishers Tachyon<\/a> and other outlets. Steampunk Revolution<\/em><\/a> is the third in a series of steampunk story collections edited by Ann VanderMeer (Jeff VanderMeer was co-editor on the first two volumes). I designed the previous title, Steampunk Reloaded<\/em><\/a>, and was working on these pages whilst also putting together the cover for Lavie Tidhar’s The Bookman Histories<\/em><\/a>. Tidhar’s trilogy is a steampunk affair (and this collection features one of his Bookman stories) so there’s some slight overlap between the two designs, notably the use of a typographic “charm” I took from a Victorian printer’s catalogue. I’ve since seen that shape used elsewhere so it’s evidently more common than I thought. Bah.<\/p>\n

The title page design above can be added to my ongoing obsession with the Exposition Universelle of 1900. Malissa Kent’s story, The Heart is the Matter<\/em>, ends with a scene at the Exposition so I had an excuse to use an elaborate banner which includes an Exposition medal<\/a>. (The same medal, incidentally, that you still see on the labels of Campbell’s Soup<\/a>). The illustration below is adapted from one of Walter Crane’s Socialist drawings, and I feel bad now that we didn’t credit him for it. Sorry, Walter.<\/p>\n
