Gwynfyd

Inside the image.

A square photographic cover is dominated by a close-up portrait of a smiling young woman. Her face fills the centre and right side, turned slightly towards the viewer’s left while her eyes look towards the camera. Her dark hair is swept across her forehead in a smooth fringe and gathered into voluminous curls behind her head on the left. She has pale skin, light eyes, carefully defined brows and eye make-up, and a broad smile showing her teeth. A small cluster of bright, flower-like earrings is visible on her left ear, at the viewer’s left. Her bare shoulder and upper chest extend into the lower-left foreground; a dark garment is just visible at the bottom right.

The portrait is tightly cropped, with the top of her hair meeting the upper edge and her shoulder cut off by the lower edge. Her face is the brightest area, softly lit from the front, with gentle highlights across her cheek, nose and forehead and darker shading around the hairline and jaw. Black and deep brown hair and shadow form a dark backdrop, especially at the left and upper edges; a few indistinct brown and blue-black areas appear behind her shoulder at the bottom. The image has a smooth, polished photographic finish and a warm complexion against the dark surroundings.

Large, thin, pale lettering reading “FFION HÂF” stretches across the top over the woman’s hair. The uppercase letters are widely spaced and drawn with delicate, narrow strokes; the circumflex over the A is clearly visible. At the far left, “GWYNFYD” appears in small white uppercase letters rotated vertically, set against a narrow dark strip and separated from the portrait by a fine pale line. The typography overlays the photograph without a surrounding border.
