I've been thinking more about the arrangement of my book and I have decided I want to base the design around the concept of time as a diurnal metaphor (the idea of an extended period of time like a few years being expressed in the imagery of a 24 hour day) because I feel that sums up the feeling of exploring that my book will be focused on. You go out in the morning and get stupidly lost and find something new, but always end up back somewhere near wherever you started by night time, and I think that idea can be applied to the way people journey through life as a whole and make mistakes and decisions that can either take you in new directions or send you back to square one.
In terms of the actual composition I want to keep the colours subdued to get across the sense of fade and time passed in the memories of myself and others that are informing this project. I think for the backgrounds I will be focusing on blues and greens that gradually get darker as the book goes on, to convey time passing and night coming.
