The book De Zin van Ziekte (or in English The Meaning of Sickness) is written by Dutch theologist Alain Verheij as a search for insight into life's longest standing questions in the Bible, culture and litterature. For this project, I designed the front cover for his book. It was important to him that the cover included religious figures in a modern setting.

Skills learned:

The book was meant to have collage/cut out feeling – So I made sure to slightly mismatch the the lightning of Maria and Jesus compared to the photo of the hospital, go give that sense of them not belonging there.

It is for sale here.
