Tell me about your design process
At first the cover was just going to be just white with the title and no photo, as I always have a hard time editing for that one cover shot. I got the plain-covered hard proof back and then decided to instead use a photograph that would look good very cropped in. In the photo, the boy’s hair is flying, giving the viewer a sense of movement, but leaves the rest open to interpretation. It’s all about making the person holding the book want to open it up.
