Design Rationale

To create a visual interpretation of the poem: Night Music. Suppose that you had too much chemical dream again and you found yourself outside on the back lawn, hunting for your keys. Suppose you fell and rolled onto your back to look up. Night Music is 88 variations on an addled theme. It’s one stanza for every lost key. Complementing this thinking into design. The 88 stanzas have been divided into 11 grids of 8 pages each. Using the existing cover shot and altering the shape, The visual element of the book is now a key part of the poem.
