Ahatt Bima Lam Tuhit Bih: the book, front and back 1
The book, front and back 120 visuals
The brief

A title that comes from the Quran.

«أحطت بما لم تحط به» is what the hoopoe told Solomon when it came back with news no one else had. The book needed a cover that tells that story at a glance.

The idea

The hoopoe, at the moment it arrives.

The hoopoe stands in the foreground at sunset with an ancient city behind it, and the title is drawn in ornate Arabic letters inside a gold frame.
