This project brief called for illustrative and text elements to be developed for a work of speculative fiction,
and then applied to a wrap-around book cover for the chosen text - 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.
The final illustration works to visually retell some of the strong imagery that came to mind when I read a certain passage in the story - the idea of two realities existing simultaneously, one that is monotonous and devoid of life, and an alternate which is busy, abstracted, vibrant and exciting. They are connected only by the centralised ladder, with the realities still remaining somewhat detached and dissimilar.
