Book Cover Design and Layout for
"To die at the time of becoming a symbol"
Davood Bayat - Spring 2023
"To die at the time of becoming a symbol " is the title of my second poetry book, which I published in PDF format in the Baang Publication, a year after the killing of Mahsa Amini by the Iranian regime and the formation of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. It took six months to write this book, and I spent a few more months editing, proofreading, laying out, and designing the cover. I wanted to create a connection between the cover design and the book's theme, which is the events of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and the subsequent street protests.
