The Nerve

This is a microscopic image of a nerve cell. For the front cover of The Nerve by Virago I am to create a front cover illustration. I like this image becasue of the bright blue colour instead of a red blood colour you would usually associate with a nerve.

The target audiece ranges from 18-80 roughly.

This is Viragos logo. Some say the apple is representative of the apple that was eaten by Eve in the garden of Eiden. A woman took the first bite. Virago believe that women should take the first bite in other words take control and be successful doing so.

Throughout the seventies and the eighties Virago published some of the major feminist thinkers including Kate Millett, Adrienne Rich, Eva Figes, Angela Carter, Juliet Mitchell, Lynne Segal, Sheila Rowbotham, and Elaine Showalter. The Unique Selling Point of Virago is that all of their stories are written by female authors and aimed at a range of ages. They are amed at anyone who can appreciate high quality writing.
