Classic Book Jackets

Design

These redesigned book sleeves are a fresh take on old classics and are designed with the intent to bring a fresh new feel for a younger audience. Recognizing that the term “classic” can seem dull to younger generations, the goal was to spark interest by adopting a contemporary photo collage style. Each design incorporates iconic imagery from their respective story and plot points of each book and includes typefaces that reflect their tones and historical context. In order to highlight their individual storyline, a corresponding color palette was created for each design rather than creating a single palette to be consistent throughout the set. It was integral to the design that the color themes stayed true to the themes and mood of each classic novel.

Project Description:

Create a fresh take on a series of book jackets for three classic novels.
