The book project was a created in order to use text imagery as inspiration for design as well as showing the main concept and theme behind the book. I was overjoyed when I found out about the assignment and chose the book "Asking For It" to create a piece that reflected such a powerful reading. I used an image of myself and surrounded it with the hurtful words that victims endure from peers. The reason behind why I chose a photo of when I was six years old is because there is a very tearjerking story in the book about the rape and assault of a six year old girl. When I read the story about such a young victim it I was taken back by the harsh realities of the world. I wanted to show a cover that represented that this book was a hard read but a necessary one. Using a young photo of myself surrounded by victim blaming brings up many questions that hopefully have people open up and read this book.
