My second entry! The attached design was inspired by Colin, Lindsey and Hassan’s interviews with the Oldsters. The design of the buttons is taken from the idea of their tape recorder, which I used to symbolize the books main theme of mattering to one another, and the world through the art of storytelling. I wanted the cover design to reflect this theme, and while designing was inspired by this quote:
“And he found himself thinking that maybe stories don’t just make us matter to each other— maybe they’re also the only way to the infinite mattering he’d been after for so long.”
