Initial book cover iterations
The concept of the book revolves around transformation. The idea of the cover page was developed around that very same concept, with the use of a butterfly to represent both growth and transformation, and is also significant of the butterfly shaped thyroid gland.
Other illustrations and design work are representative of a healthy lifestyle, achieved through various techniques. It aims at helping individuals who suffer from the disease, to overcome it and motivates anybody else who wishes to learn from real life experiences and strives for a healthier, happier life.
