Adult Themes by Kate Crawford

Adult Themes explores the changing face of adulthood in the 21st century. Employment, marriage and adulthood are no longer fixed, stable entities. Author Kate Crawford writes that “uncertainty and unreliability are becoming the rule and not the exception”. This uncertainty is mirrored in the book cover design, where a capital A leans precariously towards the book’s spine – a symbol of traditional notions of adulthood collapsing in a digital age. The letter A also has strong ties with “adult themes” through its use in the previous content classification system, ie: AO. The title of the book is highlighted through its use as the counter-form of the A. The overall tone is sophisticated and authoritative to speak to an educated urban audience.
