Expect Layout:
In the summer of 1973, twelve-year-old Rebecca climbs into a yellow Volkswagen, unaware that this one seemingly inconsequential decision will change the course of her life. In the meantime, that same year, Hannah Fuglesang walks into her violin teacher’s apartment, expecting only the tedious hours ahead, yet finds that her world, too, is on the brink of transformation. Neither could ever have predicted that 1973 would mark the beginning of the end of their childhoods. Rewriting the History of the World is a powerful tale of resilience, exploring the pivotal moments that shape our futures and leave an indelible mark on time

Design Concept
Visual Composition:
A dreamy, sun-drenched vintage aesthetic featuring a yellow Volkswagen parked on the edge of a dusty rural road. Above the car, a pair of vintage cat-eye sunglasses is floating, slightly tilted, with their lenses reflecting fragments of Picasso’s imploded face painting. The painting serves as a surreal representation of shifting perspectives and fractured memories. The background transitions from a bright summer sky to abstract brush strokes, lightly echoing themes of change and chaos.
Design Typography:
The title, *"Rewriting the History of the World"*, uses a serif font with a nostalgic, literary tone, such as Garamond or Baskerville, with the letters gently spaced. The author’s name, Susie Herschaft, is in a minimalistic sans-serif font, such as Avenir, placed subtly below the title. The subtitle, if included, has a soft cursive style in a delicate, complementary tone.
Design Layout:
The yellow Volkswagen dominates the lower center of the cover, with the cat-eye sunglasses floating just above it in the upper-middle section. The title covers the middle-left side, balanced between the surreal sun-drenched background and Picasso’s work peeking through the sunglasses. The author’s name is discreetly aligned at the bottom, leaving negative space to give a sense of reflection and introspection.
Rationale Behind the Design:
This visual composition is designed to capture the mood of introspection and pivotal transformation that the narrative hinges on. The floating sunglasses and Picasso’s imploded face painting symbolize the fragmented yet interconnected lives of Rebecca and Hannah, as well as the shifting perspectives that come with time and change. The yellow Volkswagen and soft rural background ground the story in a specific era, the summer of 1973. The typography strikes a balance between sophistication and accessibility, reflecting the literary fiction genre. The matte finish with a slight texture reinforces the sense of nostalgia while adding a tactile, compelling quality to physically engage the reader.
