How I designed the cover of my Ph.D. thesis

I will hand out around a hundred copies of my thesis to my defense committee, colleagues, and my family and friends. Let's be honest, most people will probably not get further than attempting to read the summary and appreciating the cover. Four years of work has gone into generating the content of the thesis, so I figured, at least some thought has to go into the design of its cover. Unfortunately, I am by no means an expert on a graphical design or even competent enough to attempt to use any kind of graphic design software. But luckily for me, I do consider myself an expert in Python , and why not make the thesis design a fun process?
