Judge Comments

Pairing a dying flower with the concept of grief is something that has probably been attempted before, but this cover design does it in a way that feels inspired. The upclose photograph and cropping abstracts the subject at first glance, so that the wilted flower feels subtle and artful. The texture and placement of the circles really elevates the composition.
