What a tremendous joy to have this opportunity to design a cover for such an iconic book! The incredible layering of the content certainly makes this book a timeless classic. A major challenge for this particular project was to play with the familiarity that readers have with the imagery associated with the book and still make it special enough to stand out in the crowd. Thanks a lot Shreya (@__shreyapandey__ ) for making me fight this war! What doesn't kill you, definitely makes you stronger.

Sharing some other directions that didn't hit the target.
