Mushroom Cloud by Thomas Yeggy chronicles the development and deployment of the atomic bomb. The cover design incorporates the silhouette of "Fat Man" positioned nose-down in a falling trajectory, with the iconic mushroom cloud photograph contained within its outline.
The typography draws inspiration from the stencilled letters that bomb crews would spray-paint onto warheads—often darkly humorous messages intended for their targets. The color palette creates an unsettling, hellish shimmer across the entire design, reflecting the devastating nature of atomic bombs and the infernal destruction these weapons unleashed.
Arjan is very talented. He has original ideas.
