A black-and-white art piece featuring an image of Frederick Douglass printed onto a crumpled, lightweight white fabric or tissue paper sheet. The fabric is draped dynamically over an unseen structure, casting deep shadows against a stark black background.

"There Will Come Soft Rains" is a book design featuring a white background with black writing using two different fonts, one more uniform and the other with more personality to signal the speech of the electronic house. There are hand-drawn illustrations throughout the book emphasizing the grit and symbols described in the text. Later in the book, the page gradually fills with fire as the story takes a turn for the worst. The fire shines bright read standing out on the page.
