PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We created a dust jacket that only covers the bottom half of the cover. The author's name, originally covered with all the seriousness and veneer of the classics, is then reduced to a friendly and informal nickname “Wil”. When unfolded, the dust jacket also reveals itself as a large double-sided illustration — folded, it fragments into an almost abstract composition.
Thus, by proposing to the reader a series of games in the visualization and handling of the object, the graphic project fulfills the function of breaking possible barriers that “classic books” can offer and invite the reader to enter its pages without any fear.
