The Lord Spoke Her Name
Synopsis
Church history is full of familiar names and powerful stories—like those from Joseph and Emma Smith. But there are many other important and inspiring stories worth knowing, attached to names we might not recognize. Vienna Jaques is one such person. The only woman mentioned by name in the Doctrine and Covenants besides Emma Smith, Vienna lived a simple yet extraordinary life.

Design Solution:
Working closely with the author and art directors, I was asked to include a historic painting for the cover, and pair it with a traditional, elegant type treatment. The restrained design honors Vienna’s legacy and draws the eye to the artwork.
Key Visual Elements

Composition that centers the chosen painting
