Initially I created a brainstorm to broadly approach the theme of my selected book, A Brief History of Time. Enabling me to identify key terms, subject matters, objects and quotes that could be incorporated into the design. This avoided any limitations in my ideas and research. I also initially wanted to generate my own imagery in the form of illustrations. This helped create a more personal style and approach to any initial thoughts and ideas. Creating my own imagery also meant more cliche objects associated with the title could be used as handmade illustrations made the objects more interesting.

Layout Initial Ideas :
The black and white symbolises a contextual link to history and monochrome was historically how visuals were presented before the introduction to colour. The vintage clock hand also visually represents time and history combined in an illustration. The physics equations reference Stephen Hawking himself as a Physicist. Whilst the visual poetry inspired layout of the blurb in the shape of a sand timer also references time.
Dark blue also references the universe by being a generic colour associated with the sky the dark shade references the depth and vastness of the universe. The patterned illustration created in illustration uses patterned brush strokes to visualise the blackhole.
For this design I used black to visualise the universe and the other colours to symbolise the physics of how white light travels through a glass prism and the light dispersion into colours indigo, violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
