Turn hardship into hope

This is the cover for an interview with a speaker talking about coming through a hard period. The headline is four words, because a story like this cannot be summarised on a cover and trying to do it would only get in the way of the face.

Framelink Media cut her out with a magenta outline and placed her against a purple gradient with a soft grid in it. The background is built rather than photographed, which keeps the attention on the person and gives the outline something to read against.

The two boxes at the bottom split the phrase so the word hope lands on its own line, in black on white, after the magenta line above it.

Her expression is left exactly as it was shot. The retouching stops at colour, because the reason somebody opens an interview like this is that the person on the cover looks like they mean it.
