Book Cover: The Journal Keeper

It was pure fate that Abbott Media Productions wound up as a book jacket designer.   Weeks before publisher Grove Atlantic was to send their catalogue of new books to print, the initial book cover for “The Journal Keeper” was scrapped.   Scrounging for ideas, author Phyllis Theroux thought it might be fun and intriquing to take her trusty wing chair — where she writes her journals every morning — and photograph it in unlikely places.  So, camera (and videocamera) in hand, we snapped pictures of the wing chair all over town. 

After some marathon photoshopping, “The Journal Keeper” book jacket was born.
