Final Design Concept Rationale:
The composition of the original booking photos of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock were made to portray them as ordinary people. The back cover shows this idea with Smith and Hickock detached from their numbers to show how their numbers can act as another part of their personalities. I decided to lay the image of their faces over the spine onto the front cover so that their eyes are central down the spine. It is said that you can tell a lot about a person from their eyes and wanted to use these on the spine to draw people into picking up the book when placed on a shelf. It also highlights some of their distinctive features, such as Hickock's slightly disfigured head resulting from a previous accident.
