A story within a story, a mysterious

journey of two children into the beautiful

winter farm of their grandparents.

The book cover is designed in two versions.

First version is using representational images

while second is using non-representational images.

A story of two arctic loons that visit the pond is

narrated by the grandfather and holds hidden

message that gradually unveils.

This concept is from child’s view

of the story which depicts his imagination.

The important elements of the story is

expressed with illustration and typography.

The concept is internal emotions of the main

character. Using only lines and texture, its

abstraction expresses emotions of sadness

and hopefulness.

The background serves as the dark empty void,

and the icy cold string symbolizes obstacle or

conflict that emerged in child’s heart.


Breaking letters portray feeling of coldness,

sorrow, and damage to something that is no longer

whole. Two lights on the end of the line symbolizes

children’s parents and hope the child wishes for.
