Artist Statement

I picked The Lost Continent because I had not read or heard of it before, and it had an intriguing plot synopsis. I found the book to be rather engaging, interesting, and ahead of its time. The serif fonts, gray-scale color scheme, and peppered texture provide a link to the 1910s (when the book was written), whereas the crisp lines and distinct drop shadow on the land showcase a passage to the 22nd century (when the book takes place). The final product was created in Adobe Illustrator. The font is Merriweather, used under the Open Font License. The texture is an original photo taken by me. — David Lang
