This cover design was challenging because of the low quality of the provided  image  (that had  been chosen beforehand). The editors chose this image because in it Carter wears a cardigan sweater which alluded to the book’s discussion of his economic policies. Carter suggested to Americans during the mid-70s fuel crisis that to save energy we should lower temperature in our homes and in turn, wear more layers.

We were provided with a low quality, noisy print with little contrast, especially in the area of Carter’s feet/legs against the fireplace. Additionally, once I cropped closer in to his face, it appeared as though the President was being shot in the head by a ‘missile’ from the mantel on the left.
