Hey, Victor Kelleher has nothing to do with the book cover, so can someone please tell me who created it. Or should we just refer to it as 'Penguin Publishing'?
And do you think this paragraph (which was found in resource section) is any good?
The inner travelling is a part of a physical journey within ‘The Ivory Trail’. The composer uses the images of the sphinx, pyramids and Islamic type architecture to suggest physical movement. The inner journey of the protagonist (presumably the young male pictured) is symbolised in the patterns of the sand (shifting sands symbolising change) and the use of a rich, golden colour palette. This autumn-like colour gives a feel of change. The purple glow from the protagonist’s left eye gives an idea of a great passion possessed by this boy.
The use of the motif of death and dying is present in ‘The Ivory Trail’. Death is seen as an important part of the inner journey. It can be said that death conditions life. The longest journey, on which one will go after all, is that of life.
In the visual text, The Ivory Trail, the composer uses the technique of colour to express death. From left to right across the top of the image, the colours grade from a light yellow sunset to a black night sky. This coupled with the enigmatic by-line “Not all journeys have an ending”, gives the responder the impression that this text will possess themes of death and dying. This statement also suggests that the life journey does not conclude at death, hinting at references to an afterlife and therefore spiritual themes.
