The Mushroom Picker

Design

Written and illustrated by photographer David Robinson, ‘The Mushroom Picker’ tells the story of Penny Bun and her friends as she escapes ‘The Picker’s’ annual harvest. Using a cameraless process to create the images — known as ‘luminograms’ — the results are mysterious and dark. Working closely with David to manipulate the images so they flowed as one with the text, we also used a sharp, angular typeface to lend further weight to the cruel character that is the elusive Mushroom Picker.
