  • Promotional banner for Absolutely No Body Parts by Valerie Sherrard, published by Open Book. The banner is divided into two sections. On the left, a dark charcoal background displays white text reading "Excerpt from" in a distressed serif font, followed by the title "Absolutely No Body Parts" in bold white capitals and "by Valerie Sherrard" in golden yellow script below. At the bottom left, the Open Book logo appears in white with a stylized binoculars icon. Illustrated cardboard moving boxes with scattered objects—a lamp, books, a starfish—peek in from the left edge. On the right, the full book cover is shown against a bright teal background, framed by a thin golden border. The cover features a microscope at the top, the title in white and yellow, and a stack of moving boxes at the bottom adorned with everyday items like a basketball, piggy bank, hard hat, and sneakers. The banner's layout balances promotional text with the vibrant cover art, creating a cohesive visual for digital or print marketing.
