Summer Vibes and a strawberry ice cream that didn't survive
A dropped cone, a scoop of strawberry ice cream melting into a pink puddle and, behind it, a sun with orange, yellow and aqua rays, like a seventies poster. The cover of «Summer Vibes» tells summer better than any postcard: heat, colour and a small disaster that doesn't matter because you're on holiday.
I love that the star of the picture is a fallen ice cream. No bodies on the beach and no perfect sunsets. Real summer is that too: what you drop, what melts, what doesn't turn out as you hoped and yet you remember fondly.
The title, in English and in round retro beach-bar lettering, promises good vibes with no complications.
It's perfect by the pool, in the car on the way to the beach or in the kitchen while you eat an ice lolly. And if you drop it, don't let it ruin your afternoon.
