HOW SHOULD A PERSON BE? -Sheila Heti

What is the most noble way to love? 

What can we learn from others? 

What kind of person should you be?

Part literary novel, part racy confessional, How Should a Person Be? is due to be published in Jan 2013.

The idea was that the question mark could be created in any manner of media to reflect a question being asked. We commissioned Rachel Lillie to paint the layout that we designed in-house in black and white.

Rachel Lillie said she was looking for a sense of spontaneity and sincerity was needed to evoke the titular question of the novel. ‘Keeping to a tight template sent of the chosen question mark, we painted each element of the cover separately; The background, the dots and the question mark. Then we altered and experimented with the best colour combination in photoshop, not altering too much, to maintain a painterly and handmade quality.’
