Taking elements of the story, these sketches reinterpret some of the scenes. For example, it was found at the crime scene that Hickock and Smith had cut the telephone lines. This would have been done so that the Clutter family could not call the police to make them aware of the crime taking place. The idea was to use the telephone lines as the main part of the design upon which the type will sit and extend onto the back cover to create connections between the front and back. When the book is opened, this connection is then broken representing the disconnected and cut telephone lines which were found at the crime scene.
Another idea involved using objects relevant to the story, such as the murder weapon and the possessions taken from the Clutter family home by Hickock and Smith, which included a small portable radio, a pair of binoculars and less than fifty dollars in cash. These would be used to represent one of the consequences of the crime, contrasting to the ten thousand dollars which were believed to be hidden in a safe by Herb Clutter. This idea would be experimented with using collage, inspired by DR.ME.
