The Phantom Tollbooth Book Cover Redesign #19
One of my favorite books growing up, I was always fascinated by the map and it’s relation to the story. I decided to try to bring that into this cover by keeping the entire thing hand drawn, something you certainly don’t see today, and using map elements to create a sort of badge.
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller Book Cover # 18

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelly #17
Comboing some undulating lines, a ambiguous type layout and some overlayed color. Huge amateur moment by misspelling Mary Shelley, I could use a personal proof reader if anyone is interested.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck: Book Cover Re-design #11
When tackling The Grapes of Wrath, it being a social realist novel, I decided to air on the semi-comical side depicting a raisin. Since a grape that has been writhed quite literally is a raisin. Compiled with a collage of newspaper articles during the great depression of the 1930’s.
