We ultimately landed on a type of Japanese red algae, which

In early conversations,
@Lethain often referenced wabi-sabi—embracing transience and imperfection—as being core to his thinking. With that in mind,@tyler_thompson searched for organic, living systems that had a structure that resembled org charts.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

The next direction we investigated was systems and scale. We tried several compounding geometric patterns. Many worked visually but lacked the one thing

Second, the cover: we originally explored puzzle-piece visuals and imagery of organizational charts. But we were soon set on finding a more meaningful and unique visual representation. We aspired to create a cover that would surprise and intrigue readers.

First, the title: An Elegant Puzzle wasn't the first working title for the book. (One draft title was Engineering Organization.) In

Lastly, for added impact, we matched the color of the headband and tailband to the colors of the gradient; yellow at the top, red at the bottom. It's a small detail designed to carry the look and feel of the book's exterior into the books interior.pic.twitter.com/XCVU84smp3

Next, we tested more than ten different foils. Red was the by far the winner. We loved how the red foil interacted with the light to create a dynamic shimmer and feel even more flame-like.pic.twitter.com/QiGfjctVMS

We tried two version of the text overlay—one with just "Get Together" on the cover and one that also had the author names and subtitle. It was clear that making the title large and removing all other text gave us the warmest, most striking book. (Author names are on the spine!)pic.twitter.com/cbeNQR6lRd
