Book Cover Design For Daredevil Books' Passage

Paul Belford created a book cover for 'Passage', a novel recounting the doomed 1845 Royal Naval Arctic expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The design features typography made from ice, symbolizing the harsh environment and fading hope of the explorers, with a complementary promotional poster capturing the melting process.
