I was asked for designing a cover and layout for a memoir book written by Andrzej Dziedzic and Joanna Głuchowska. This inspiring story of their fight against fatal disease shows not only incredible strenght in the face of danger, but also a lust for life.

The author is a talented swimmer, that is why I decided to use swimmer's silhouette on the cover. Light blue color refers to water and hospital equipment.

In the book layout I have to include a lot of photos and document scans – a traces of heroes' story. They were not professional, taken ad hoc, and very authentic, but of course not consistent. That is why I decided to use grayscale and duotones to unify them all. 

To keep consistency between the cover and inner pages I decided to use frames in the beginning of every chapter and in photo descriptions.

Thank you for watching!
