A Streak of Grey

A Streak of Grey

Description

The collection of essays A Streak of Grey includes personal experiences, observations and thoughts by the author. His insight that joy and sorrow are equal parts of life is echoed in the typographic design of the cover and binding. The dominant colours of black and white reflect light and dark episodes and are, at the same time, combined to create different shades of grey. As defined by straight lines and reminiscent of timelines, they symbolise the ups and downs of life and its different phases.
