Explanation of work
My idea for the book cover is to express the fact of quick recognition and making snap judgments. My concept is based on the ‘Rorscharch inkblot’ personality test, where the different inkblot shapes have different impact on people. I incorporated the figure of the kouros in the inkblot as one of the stories related to the book. The figures are purposely not clear, so they expresses the need of experience to recognize them, as there is the need for experience to make snap judgments.
Judges comments
The judges felt that this was a smart, clean design and a brave concept.
