What 3 things would you like to communicate to your readers with this design?
1st Dyslexia in children, forms many defensive personality traits to hide their disability and isolate themselves. So the image of a boy (11 to 17 years old) LONER , this is important. Note that the boy image is not required to to be close up, but a far off image of a male person perceived to be a boy .
2nd The story takes place in a small town in rural upstate New York. The setting will be on a country highway with many mountains, trees, brush, and without buildings, cars, or people, this is Important. This will portray that there is no help available if he gets in trouble.
3rd The season setting will be autumn the trees and brush, will be in full peak colors. Although, the image will be with limited light, either a cloudy day, or sunrise or sunset, this is important. This will portray the story as a happy, exciting, adventurous, and emotional journey.
