As It Was by Hozier

Creative Direction & Cover Design | Personal Project 2025

For Hozier’s As It Was, I reimagined the song as a book cover. The illustration, which I drew in charcoal, was softened with a brushed blur to feel more spectral than solid. The figure and wings connect to the song’s themes of memory and loss, capturing how both begin to fade over time. A deep blue background mirrors the song’s melancholy nature, while the white type provides contrast and focus.
