For inspiration here I turned to my love of the Titanic, an interest I've had since I was ten years old. I selected one of my favorite books on the disaster - "A Night to Remember" by Walter Lord - and created an Adobe Illustrator version of the cover. One cover was aimed more for children; the other was created to show more realism with the ship actually sinking.
