My design focuses on the memoir-like aspects of the book without overusing the musical themes of the book. The use of the silhouette hints towards the future that could have been for the people talked about in the book without being inherently musical. I've chosen a nostalgic colour palette and a retro-like typeface to try and give the prospective reader a specific mood and insight into how I imagine the book to read. The photographic approach to the cover could be utilised for possible special editions. Using photography of and from the people talked about in the book, with the photography chosen for inside the silhouette, from their band eras and the photography outside the silhouette from life after their band breakup.
