bookbinding proposal

Description

This proposed design for Bernard Middleton's text was inspired first by reading his book as a bookmaker/artist and second as one who is constantly exploring and studying different structures, old and new. The idea of illustrating the cover came as part of the design process. I sketch out the initial thoughts before executing the design and the time it takes to draw represents the nurturing of that thought. As a former graphic designer I love to hide things, sometimes items of great importance: there is always more to be found if one is willing to look and dig.
