The Story of the Cover
The cover was designed by Nye Warburton, whose work can be found at nyewarburton.com.
The cover images are by Sir John Tenniel who created the black and white illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and colored illustrations for Nursery Alice (1890).
We always liked the white rabbit as a logo for project management:
“When suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by. There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself,
Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!
Every project manager knows that feeling.
When we were designing the cover for the third edition, we wanted to continue using the Tenniel images and the Queen of Hearts seemed like a natural. These days, the Queen of Hearts feels all too real.
The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed
Off with her head! Off—
Nonsense! said Alice.
Which seems, to us at least, the perfect reply to the Queen of Hearts.
