The Tree Beyond Time: Storytelling Through Print

The Tree Beyond Time: Storytelling Through Print

This self-initiated redesign of Tuck Everlasting was created with Chronicle Books in mind — a publisher known for their thoughtful, visually rich titles. The design reimagines the beloved classic with a focus on natural symbolism and quiet strength. At its center, the tree of eternal life stretches its gnarled branches in patchwork greens, enclosed in a circular frame that speaks to cycles of time, choice and the possibility of immortality.

The design aims to balances the narrative's depth with visual clarity, appealing to a new generation of readers while honoring the book’s legacy. With careful attention to symmetry, color, and line, the cover captures the story’s quiet magic and enduring questions — asking not just whether one would live forever, but why.
