SYNOPSIS:
The story begins with a tattoo parlor employee names Johnny Truant, who is looking for a new apartment in LA. His friend, Lude, tells him about one in his building that belonged to an elderly man named Zampano, who has recently passed away. Johnny finds a manuscript written by Zampano which is a study done on a documentary film called The Navidson Record. He attempts to put the pieces of Zampano’s writings together about the Navidson family and their house whose dimensions are larger inside than on the outside, and expanding on its own.
This story is told from several different viewpoints: Truant, Zampano, Will Navidson and the editors of the actual book, along with countless footnotes. Different fonts are used for each main character.
STATEMENT OF INTENT:
I would like to create a cover that reflects the main viewpoints of the three characters, in some kind of layered appearance that is primarily text and texture. The type will scattered and fractured, as portrayed in the book, with minimal color to highlight certain aspects of the artwork, such as blue being used for the word "House". The text would create various images from the story, such as the long hallway or house from the Navidson Record.
