![]() ![]() Marius Roux: I started out in advertising, but soon gravitated towards design, publication design in particular – in 2005 I had the opportunity to design Prisoner in the Garden for Penguin, and I was hooked.ĪiW: What’s your creative approach to cover design, say, when you receive a new project? What do you look for first and how does it unfold from there? Perhaps we could start at the beginning – could you tell us a bit about your work and your path to becoming a book cover designer, how you discovered or nurtured the spark for it? And congratulations – three of your covers have been selected as finalists in the first Good Book Appreciation Society Book Cover Design Awards – two in the Excellence in Illustration category and one in the Non-Fiction category. Katie Reid for AiW: Thanks for taking the time to talk with us today. ![]() Marius Roux talks with us below about his nominated designs, the job and judging a book by its cover… We asked them some of the same questions and honed in on specifics relating to each of their nominated cover designs. AiW note: Ahead of the announcement of the winner of the GBAS Book Cover Design Awards tomorrow, December 1st, we have been able to catch up with two of the finalists, Casper Schutte and Marius Roux. ![]()
