Quillcast video: book designer Michel Vrana reveals one of his all-time favourite covers

Quillcast is a podcast and video series from Quill & Quire featuring behind-the-scenes conversations with authors and publishing insiders.

In the third video of the series, freelance book designer Michel Vrana discusses the creative process behind one of his favourite covers, Sarah Selecky’s short-story collection, This Cake Is for the Party (Thomas Allen Publishers).

Vrana, who moved to Toronto from Montreal a year ago, has focused on book design since 2009, creating memorable covers for award-winning titles such as Tamas Dobozy’s Siege 13 (illustration by Allan Kausch) and Esi Edugyan’s Half-Blood Blues.

Quillcast is produced with media partners The Walrus, Open Book: Ontario, and Open Book: Toronto, with support from Toronto Life. This project is generously supported by the Ontario Media Development Corporation’s Entertainment and Creative Cluster Partnerships Fund.
