Front cover design, featuring a photo illustration based on a photograph by Monica Morgan. We used photos from throughout Dr. House’s life as art for the covers and section openers. To give it a consistent look, I gave the photographs an oversized-halftone treatment that suggests you’re looking at an enlarged photo from the news. This meshed nicely with the oversized-poetry-text vibe of the titles.
