The book poster project was a Typography assignment. The student was to select any book they were familiar with, include the name of the book, a short paragraph about it, include the author's name, and use the Barnes&Noble/Pepsi template provided. (A Wrinkle in Time was a book my mother read to me and I always loved the magical, time-travel, outer-space inter-dimensional ideas in the story but also that it had a powerful message, amongst many: humans are special, because they have LOVE.)
Pictured above is a "tesseract," mathematically a 4 dimensional cube, but also (according to Wikipedia) "In the novel, the concept of a tesseract functions more or less like what in modern science-fiction is called a space warp or a wormhole, a portal from one area of space to another which is possible through the bending of the structure of the space-time continuum." So I tried to bend my mind around that and picture a mysterious special time-warp cube.

The quote, "Through the stars and winds and tides, who can say where time abides?" I found online and thought it applied perfectly.
I manipulated an earth image in Photoshop and Illustrator to depict my understanding of the "black thing," pure evil, that lurks in the galaxy and partially covers earth. The rainbow was made in Illustrator, and the blue clouded background in Photoshop.
I also wrote the short paragraph about the book.
