These three photos above are the in-process documentation of this book jacket project.
First two photos show my brainstorming sketches. Before setting up the scene, I brainstormed with the given title using mind map. After this process, I came up with a few helpful keywords for my final outcome:shadow, shutter, spectrum, grid and others. The last photo was taken while I was setting up the stage in my room for the cover photo.
