What inspired your design for your favorite book jacket? 

I have done a couple of book jackets for Supriya Kelkar which I really loved working on. They are YA books set in India and the inspiration came from Indian wood block textiles and the pattern and colours of the region. I also researched the beautiful painted 'jingle' trucks of South Asia.
