De Val van Thomas G. (“The Fall of Thomas G.”) by Nelleke Noordervliet is a novel about freedom of speech, social media, racism, parenting, old age, marriage and love.
The positioning of the big, bleeding type in capitals represents an actual VAL (fall, descent or trap). The parts that literary fall off are to be found on the innerside of the cover.
The blue and green are Pantone colors printed in two hits in order to intensify their brightness on the uncoated textured paper. The color on the block was meant to emphasize the three-dimensionality of the book but unfortunately could not be realized.
