This book cover redesign for A Visit from the Goon Squad visually captures the novel’s fragmented structure and central themes of time, memory, and human connection. Using cassette tapes as the primary visual metaphor, the design nods to the characters’ shared ties to the music industry while also symbolizing the way their lives rewind, fast-forward, and overlap in unpredictable ways, much like a mixtape of moments. The worn, analog aesthetic of the tapes evokes a sense of nostalgia and fading memories, mirroring the novel’s reflection on aging and change. Through layered imagery and thoughtful composition, the cover aims to translate the book’s nonlinear storytelling into a compelling and cohesive visual identity.
