Eleanor Crow

After a BA in Painting and Drawing at Edinburgh College of art, Eleanor took an MA in Communication Design (Illustration) at Central Saint Martins between 1996 and 1999.

It was an amazing creative resource.'

Eleanor began designing book covers for Faber & Faber in 2009. Alongside her cover design work, Eleanor is known for her illustration which has been featured by It’s Nice That and Étapes magazine. Eleanor has chosen her work for the 'Rare Medium' journal to include in the A+ show. This journal won a D&AD award in 2014.

Beginning her design career in a textile studio, she branched into designing book covers in 1929, and in 1937 London Transport commissioned Enid to design the patterns for bus and tube seat covers. During World War Two she wrote and designed children's books. After the war Enid worked for Penguin books, designed stamps and wrote books on English popular art.
