For this project, I was intrigued by the significance of the audiotapes in the story and the entire experience the narrorator is thrown into, forced into the task of listening to them all and passing them on others on a list. In particular I liked the fact that even though the story takes place in the present that the character Hannah creates these audiotapes, an out of date technology, diliberately making it difficult for Clay and the others to listen to them and complete the task Hannah set them.
I wanted to recreate that same experience for the readers by transforming the actual book into an audiotape, from the outside cover suggested a casette tape sleeve and the book and pages tinted in dark grey like an actual tape. I wanted them to feel a connection to Clay, holding the tape and being in possession of Hannah’s confessions.
For the typography I used a handcrafted font, but tried to suggest the rage the character Hannah was in while creating the tapes, angrily writing in red felt tip across the cover and scribbling in notes to the listeners.
