HELP!

so the concept I'm working with is the author Marcel Proust's idea of memory and time 

the idea that memories are recalled through the senses (for example when a specific smell reminds you of a place or person from your past) 

as well as your memory being a sort of spotlight on a specific time and place with all else left in darkness

i want to use this concept to give a more solid reason to the nostalgic nature of the book

my design direction is going to be rather simplified I'm thinking about using mostly black and white photographs and only spotlighting select colors along with very simple line drawings

  1. Nostolgia and memory is such a specific and personal thing that I think you might want to generalize this idea so more could understand. Mabye each person could in he book could do something that is realized by them as nostalgic.
    (with our generation "power rangers" might strike a note in someones mind while it does nothing for someone else.)
