Black Hole - Doorway to another Universe?

Cover Design

Genre: Astronomy and Science

Eingegossen in Beton - There are things human beings never talk about

Genre: Non-Fiction/Psychological

A fact known too well.

The title means "cast in concrete" or, for more context, "sealed away into concrete". Things we are too scared to talk about, because of stigma and society.

Depression - A hidden raging storm

Genre: Non-Fiction/Psychology

Anyone has encountered it at some point. Be it someone else or yourself. It is like a silent killer. An internal hurricane that slowly rips us apart, while nobody else notices You are not alone though. Go get help!

History on Repeat - We learn and forget

Genre: Non-Fiction/Society

For this one I decided to do it typographic with the message well understood, especially at the present days. Though I think those thoughts every generation had at some point.

Here I thought of a base colour to be seen from far away, but implementing a subtle grungy texture within it. The repeat symbol we all know from music devices and it always begins and ends at the same point. Like a time loop.

Like the colours having an impact, the bold sans-serif font has the same purpose while through the words carrying the message.

We Rise and We Fall

Genre: Non-Fiction/Society

Typographic style cover about each being there is on earth, that came to a rise and fell to extinction,except for humans. They they rise and fall at their own hands, mostly destroying themselves and each other.

Used a font that is narrow, indicating how much we can rise, but also how deep the fall can be. The red empathizes fire and within there are buildings from a huge city of high rises. This is an analogy of humans, the more they rise, the more they destroy. The other one is green like plants/trees and once civilizations fell, nature took over, overgrowing everything there is. Within the green part, there are branches of trees showing nature as a visual element.
