During the ideation of the design, a word, "sedimentation," of which I taught a kid, caught my mind.
"Sedimentation" may be connected to "asynchronicity" because materials in different eras gather in one place and make one form itself. Many kinds of elements create unique striped-layers respectively over a long time. Also, the layers that we can see are resulted from the erosion after the sedimentation.
I used basic-formed elements and noise effects for the cover design, abstracting "sedimentation" and "asynchronicity" respectively. Then I more abstracted the structure and applied it to the inner pages.
