Book Cover Designs

Overview:

As a personal design exercise, I set about to design book covers for seminal works fiction by five of my favorite authors. I wanted to create covers that not only reflected the novels themselves, but were eye-catching and presented a different visual take on the stories.

Using a variety of methods including illustration, collage and photography, I designed all of these covers from the layout and choice of typography, to the creation of the art itself.
