Paola Buonadonna
I have written a book and need a cover in order to publish online
My book is part memoir, part reportage, my story as an Italian who swapped the blue skies of Italy for a rather rainier but more exciting life in the UK 20 odd years ago. The title reflects this: Leaving Azzurro Behind (azzurro is the Italian word for the special blue colour of the sky)
The strapline underneath is : The Journey of a Reluctant Brit
The tone of the book is mostly funny with a few poignant bits - it deals with the cultural differences between the two countries, my homesickness for Italy but also my early university days in Edinburgh, my 'adventures' as a young TV journalist for the BBC, tales from my single life in London and so on.
I think the word Azzurro should probably be given slightly more prominence in the design of the title.
I have a attached a few of my photographs that could (but by no means must) be part of the design. I am also really happy with graphics, drawings etc For the UK part anything with a London flavour, particularly Big Ben/Westminster etc would work. I really, really do not want this to have the flavour of a chick-lit book, which it really really isn't. Thank you!
