For the cover design I first brainstormed some sketches:
Due to many other assignments and to-do’s I chose to make two designs. One using old pictures of my dad, featuring in how little years you can change quite a lot. I find the ‘old/vintage’ feel of the photo’s adds to the theme. I used my own handwriting to give this young/sketched feel to add the titles.
The second design is inspired by getting stuck up in your emotions during the ‘coming of age’ period. I used this screenprint I made in combination with a simple helvetica. The font mimics how simple everything looks on paper, the illustration mimics how it actually feels: chaotic and claustrophobic.
