THE CONCEPT BEHIND THIS ILLUSTRATION
Gandhiji believed that "wearing Khadi clothes is not only to show love and devotion to our country but also to wear something that shows the unity of Indians. He has written in his book Young India that Charkha is a symbol of prosperity and independence in the country. On his call, every hero of freedom started using the spinning wheel to make his clothes. So, I used a bandage (which is used for injury time) to give the effect and texture of Khadi cloth.
E) Final Digital Exploration and Branding

Learning Outcome
So many books are published each year—a good book design must communicate that the pages within are worth a reader’s time and attention. It’s common knowledge by now that readers shop with their eyes.
