The Brief
Design needs
Balance between negative and white space (in keeping with the theme of 'harmony'). Scary and mysterious and secretive and understated is the tone I'm looking for. The simple comp attached hints at a human skull or alien torso, I like the tension of the ambiguity there, the 'head' clipped. If not monochromatic, cool tones. Title font should convey gravitas. Concentric ripples would also be thematically consistent, and may be used to obscure or as title text treatment.
What to avoid
Cliche, overstated, lack of ambiguity or tension.
It all began with a design brief.
A quick, interactive guide helped them understand their design style and captured exactly what they needed in their book cover.
Designers across the globe delivered design magic.
