GHOSTS OF THE TSUNAMI - Richard Lloyd Parry
This powerful and moving book about the devastating tsunami which struck Japan in 2011, deserved a bold and striking jacket design. Inspired by Hokusai’s Great Wave, the final book jacket uses an abstract wave design to give a sense of the power and malevolence of the sea. To further suggest the unstoppable nature of the tsunami, the design always works as a continuous wave when the books are displayed side by side, whether showing the front or back. The dark and ominous wave also continues over the spine and onto the flaps, further illustrating the relentless and all consuming nature of the disaster.
