Design Rationale

This is an unusual and timely book cuts through the noise in our heads to get to the truth of our beauty. It needed to be inclusive of races and ages so I decided to illustrate this cover rather than use photography as a way to cross the spectrum. I sought to blur lines of the face deliberately in order to focus on a few features which echos the author’s message of how we should identify our own unique beauty features in our own faces and preserve our uniqueness rather than conform to a factory of what is considered beautiful
