Bruno van den Elshout’s Whatever the Weather is a stand-alone piece that catches the viewer’s eye right away. It has a bold appearance and heaviness that matches the looks of the people who were depicted in the photographs. The captivating photographic style that focuses on a new person on each page, creates a sense of shared experience between the reader and the people in the portraits. The usage of blank pages gives the reader a visual break and some breathing room while preserving the dynamic experience. The high quality of the lithography and printing adds to the overall impact of the book. The cover’s design is an interesting addition that adds to the book’s overall identity. Still, the group faced a challenge in assembling the cover as a stand.
