A memoir about the musician Michelle Zauner's journey of grief over her mothers battle with cancer. The book focuses heavily on nostalgia and is centered around Korean home cooking. I wanted the art work to be reminiscent of a risograph which evokes vintage Korean food advertisements as well as band posters. I wanted the artwork to be simple overlapping colors like a child's scribble and that of the flat Japonisme lithographs. The image shape came out of the idea of noodles mixed with a river of tears.The typography highlights the typeface BD Supper which feels reminiscent of retro food advertisements and the pop of colors are meant to reflect the neon lights of Seoul.
