Design Rationale

As per usual, the Young Adult Genre opens up opportunities to push book cover design as far as one can. In this case the powerful, unique, surprising, and yet, anonymous typography, has allowed the cover design to stay true to the wide-ranging themes of Will Kostakisís writing: family tensions, outsider issues and its downright, clever humour.
