State Election Guide 2018

Design for the Mercury‘s 2018 Tasmanian State Election Guide cover.

My design for the cover of the Mercury‘s guide to the 2018 state election owes everything to the brilliant work of Mercury photographer Richard Jupe.

Richard’s great talent for putting his subjects at ease, coupled with his extensive experience in lighting, composition and staging is clearly evident in this stunning combined portrait of Labor party leader, Rebecca White, and Liberal party leader, Will Hodgman.

I hope that I was able to combine the typography and layout for the cover of the election guide in a way that branded it clearly and strongly, while also letting Richard’s photo take centre stage and shine on its own merits.
