Book cover design for Sara Novic's 2022 novel, True Biz, published by Little, Brown.

The book centres on characters from the deaf community, and immerses the reader in American Sign Language as well as the language's development and history. The cover depicts 2 of the three main characters existing in a hand, the core facet of their communication. The type on the cover is minimised and handwritten in order to reduce the volume of the viewer's experience of the cover.
