A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article). The piece was scanned into Adobe Photoshop for small adjustments, to prepare for printing.

(2B pencil on a 195mm x 123mm book title page) The first of five in this project. I chose the Harry Potter book because it tells the usual religious "hero's journey" story, of a boy born for another life that sees outsiders as something different.

(Blue biro on a 75mm x 125mm post-it note) Verecide (or Vericide) is a word meaning the "killing of reality" by choosing to permanently live in a virtual one.
