The Loss of Leon Meed

The Loss of Leon Meed

Simon & Schuster, New York, New York, 2005

Description

The goal was to create an iconic cover by reflecting the main character’s ability to disappear and appear in many places throughout this off-kilter novel.

Juror Notes

Economy of color and art—just enough to let the idea across—in addition to exactly right type placement made this a successful cover for us.
