Without it, Sarah doesn't know what to do. But because she is bored, she dreams about so many things and she finds out that a little boredom is not so bad. It makes her creative.
The design was made using some of the illustrations of Charmaine Lam, that also appear in the interior of the book. As these illustrations represent drawings as being made by a child, I kept the same style in order to respect the initial vision of the illustrator and the author.
I had to dedicate a special attention to all the new elements that were added to the book cover. For that, I followed the same kind of trace and textures of the existing images. However, the colors were slightly intensified to catch the attention of the viewers. The choice of fonts also helped to give a certain “childish style” to the entire design.")

The original characters were designed by Sharad Kumar and Manel Mendoza. The following characters, that appear throughout this story, were created by me with the same technic of the first ones (in Adobe Illustrator).
The biggest challenge designing the book cover, but specially when making the illustrations, was to keep faithful to the original style and physiognomy of each character, while putting them in different poses and situations. It was important that they would gain life but still being easily recognized.
The other elements of the book, like the symbols of each chapter, as well as the representation of the series, were made following the same graphic line of the logo, that I had previously designed.")

The story is set in Western Germany from 1523 to 1552, in the time of the Protestant Reformation. Therefore, my main attention was to have all the clothing and other details representative of this specific period in time.
As the letters sent between the two friends are the main focus of the entire story, I’ve decided to use a font in the title (and in the header of the back cover text) that could represent the handwriting of one of the women.")

The author and jazz musician, Richie Zellon, wanted an illustration that could represent the flow of his music, as well as a vintage style similar to the jazz covers of the early/mid 20th century.
Since the majority of those covers followed Cubism, I created an illustration with similar traces of that specific art movement. As I’m not a painter it was a big challenge, but also a great opportunity to study more in detail all the aspects of Cubism and Abstract Art and the paintings of specific artists.
The illustration has a visible influence in the work of Kandinsky, because of the flow and unpredictability of his traces, just like the jazz improvisations. Another detail requested by the author was to include in some way his hat, which easily identifies him in all his performances.")

Emily takes her sobriety very seriously, while Grayson has not been able to make that commitment yet.
Instead of showing the characters, I decided to go for a more symbolic approach, in order to make it different from the common romance books.
I used the contrast between cold and warm tones to transmit the concept of “choices” that the characters need to make in their lives.
In this design the blue tones represent the sad and numb life of addiction, the struggles and the dramatic consequences… and the yellow/orange tones represent the recovery and the achievement of finally become sober.
Grayson is still struggling in a “cold life”, while Emily has already overcome her battle. The orange flower is Emily that blossoms from branches that seem to be almost dry. While Grayson is still the cold reflex in the water of what can become his future.")

Therefore, I decided to place the image of the horse in a very large scale and also with an effect where it seems to get out of the page. Its body extends to the back cover, giving a deep dark contrast to the entire design. This creates a very dramatic appearance but also a sophisticated style, helped by the warm golden tones on the background and on the title.

One of the important details of the story is the finding of an old diary written in the 19th century by a girl of the same age. This diary inspires one the girls to start reading the Bible and pray to God for the other one.
