"Hearts Turn" Book Cover

An intricate book cover design for a specialist publisher on the Muslim world.

The Path to the Heart Through Geometry

Specialist publisher Inspiral engaged Maaida to illustrate and design the cover for "Hearts Turn: Sinners, Seekers, Saints and the Road to Redemption" by Michael Sugich. This book features a collection of short stories—from the humorous, to the harrowing, to the hopeful—that centre around the act of "tawba," the Qur'anic term usually translated as repentance.

For the cover, Maaida selected a fivefold geometric pattern, which symbolises the Divine presence in the human heart. The pattern's centre was painted red to represent expression and power and the colours change throughout the pattern to show the heart's transformation. The radiating pattern evokes the book's message of hope. Credits to Inspiral Design.
