This book is another example of how to use colour to tell a story. It can be an overt visual element, but it can also work subtly. The design of this book is very efficient and elegant. We saw a lot of trendy saturated colours in other submissions. And here we see something different, a true dark blue that sets the tone in every panel. As readers, we will experience the book’s narrative through the evocative colours in a variety of ways. Its impact is pretty heavy. A mysterious presence, combined with detached mental imagery, leads to painful and confusing thoughts and dreams. This book is about childhood, but maybe not for children. Beautiful, mysterious, but most of all blue.
