This project was somehow proposed, designed, and published within the span of about three weeks, all while I was living in Nicaragua and the client was back in Indiana. The 250-page book is a collection of the writings of a local pastor who was diagnosed with end-stage cancer and wrote a very moving blog that followed her last days on Earth. I spoke with friends who had known her during her life and learned that she had a love for jewel-toned Japanese prints, which inspired the cover illustration.
