This is a typical white American picket fence, caging in the black background. I was happy with the way the fence came out resembling the high enclosure of a prison also, giving it a double meaning. The stark contrast of the black and white serves to represent the high tensions which existed between the black and white communities at the time.
This cover is designed to resemble the newspaper headlines that would have been a massive topic for discussion over the course of Tom Robinsons trial. However, I feel it is too cliche and the black and white and red is a bit more forboding than I had intended!
