"Signs and Symbols" follows the story of two Russian immigrants and their son with an unknown mental illness. The illness causes the son to either be terrified of man made objects or be offended by them; a trait his parents can't predict. I was inspired by that trait for the cover, while it seems random, it puts the reader in the parents's shoes of what is safe and what isn't. I also wanted to incorporate handwriting and simple illustrations, as if one of his parents made the book themselves in the hopes that something made by them would not upset their son.
