I set myself the task of redesigning the cover of Duncan Harley's book 'The A-Z of Curious Aberdeenshire', to give it a more curious look with silhouette illustration.

I chose the Prop of Ythsie, being a lesser known feature of Aberdeen, and surrounded it in thistles.

I also cut the image out, and photographed it against some texture, with lighting underneath for another version. 

I used the font Playfair Display for an atmospheric finish.
