The cover design for this book effectively contrasts the protagonist’s poor and destructive life from London during World War Two. With the peaceful and colourful countryside, which evokes an impression of escape for a hopeful future. The representation of a typical Evacuee tag acts as a gateway to a new life to the book’s protagonist. Which combines itself with a characterful 1940s illustrated aesthetic, to make for an effective and fitting final concept.
