Good Friends, Bad Friends — Ebook Covers for The Boys' Mentorship Programme

The Boys' Mentorship Programme is a Uganda-based, Christian mentorship organisation "building a generation of true men". It runs camps and mentorship that build responsibility, discipline, integrity and leadership in boys.

I designed a set of three ebook covers for Good Friends, Bad Friends, part of their Brotherhood Character Series by Mr Godfrey Kuteesa, President of the programme. The book helps boys recognise the difference between friends who build them up and friends who lead them astray.

Each cover is written for a different age group (7–9, 10–14 and 15–19 years), so the illustrations show the choices boys actually face at that age:

7–9 years: studying together versus fighting

10–14 years: books and football versus games and distractions

15–19 years: a friend offering alcohol and cigarettes versus one offering support
