COSTA’S WORLD
Costa Georgiadis
Costa has been a favourite in our house for years. He’s a gorgeous human (IRL too!) and this was a dream job. COSTA’S WORLD brings together his gardening and sustainability knowledge – it’s a massive book and every double-page spread is different with text, activities, illustrations, photography. A giant puzzle. We wanted this to be more than a gardening book and really reflect Costa’s energetic and beautiful inclusive personality. Thank goodness for the amazing team: Helen Littleton’s cover guidance, Barbara McClenahan’s ability to see both the big picture and minute detail, and the delightful illustrations and hand-drawn custom fonts produced by Brenna Quinlan – a powerhouse of creativity. Hopefully my contribution helps Costa make our world a little greener.

‘Lisa is one of those rare designers who adds an artist dimension to her work that is of herself and her own talent but entirely about helping the author to achieve their creative ambitions for their cover.’
