The Contest holder wanted something simplistic, but bold and to a degree minimalist. The focus was on having something that could be visualized in black and white but the focus was mainly for viewing in color. The book is about regular people in extraordinary circumstances, but could define a rift, or a disconnect. I used a simple but "disconnected" type of image that I thought would portray the book ideal in a minimalist but bold way. The disconnect option can be subtly viewed in the image, but i also incorporated it into the title by having the two S's lower than the rest of the title.
