In the Artist’s Words
For the khōréō cover in particular, I found it uniquely challenging to design to an environment that feels deeply familiar, yet carries a hint of an otherworldly/ sci-fi nature. One of the main ways I ended up solving this was by using a slightly “unnatural” color palette — another by playing with proportions and perspective. For the web banner, I kept most of the visual motifs consistent, but changed the originally twilight scene to a warm sunrise (or sunset) — something fitting to represent beginnings and endings.
