Development
the idea for this book cover involved several factors such as the sadness, destruction and the drama of the characters trough their journey.
Concept
- Neutral color representing the death of war
- Dead vegetation representing destruction of the war zone
- Mountain in horizon representing the journey of the characters trough their goal
- The two people at center representing the main characters
- The dust over the characters representing the war comsummation over them
