In this page the artist uses black inked pen to create positive and negative space which creates a visual image with the theme of love which transformed from the main theme of the chapter which was the main charecter’s bad luck.

In this page of the book the theme of culture is transformed. The artist focuses more on the words to create a physical reading story instead of creating a story just by the visual aspect of the page. This way the viewers has a more of a solid story that’s right front of their face. The theme of the new story is breaking the barriers.

In this page of the book the theme is horror. It give the reader both a reading and a visual story. It ties together all the different moods and transformed into horror. The specific choice of words and creation of new words creates a different dynamic in the project book Thendrous Lifowao.
