”’This was an attempt to make a potentially dry subject–transcontinental literary comparisons–look intriguing. The perfect old, red book was found in a used bookstore, photographed, and superimposed with the type treatment.’ Belenson created the map texture, which the illustrator turned into a box and incorporated into the final collage in Photoshop.”

A globe with little ornaments on either side.
