A landscape photograph showing grass, a cloudy sky and a small crenelated building with a tower that looks like a lighthouse, but is presumably a camera obscura
A black and white woodcut print. It is abstract in nature, but seems to show glasses, one upturned with a spider in it.
Some white text on a bright blue background, the text is a small part of the words "Notes from the North".
An abstract design. The left hand third of the image is yellow, the right hand two-thirds is black with one orange and two yellow triangles.
Some black and white text (part of the book title) on a red background. For extra 'artistic design' points the text lines are slanted diagonally.
Close up of a medlar tree showing green leaves and purple fruit.
Black text on white reads 'Domestic Economy Reader for Irish Schools by John Mee' with a big yellow Friday Poem blob over the right hand side of the page.
A photograph of a small house, painted half blue and half yellow. The porch is red.
A wooden sculpture hung on an old blue wooden plank door. The brown, roughly heart shaped and has a light blue circle in the centre crossed with what look like laces.
Part of the front cover of 'Little Piece of Harm' by Chris Jones showing a wet puddle ion a pavement n the dark, in an urban setting
Black text on white reads "Four poems by Daniel Brown" with a yellow medium sized Friday Poem blob over the middle of the image.
