Background information:
Patrick asked me to work with the black & white pencil drawings his sister made – could I perhaps use that in the cover design? To solve the ‘problem’ of not having a top and bottom of the ‘head-illustration’ I created the ‘flag’ wrapped around it, after that I worked with the colors. This flag returns on the ‘part-pages’ of the book interiour. The bold title ‘heads up’ deserved a statement – that’s why we chose for the background as it is.
