Jane Austen

Wanting to keep the collection quite graphic and yet still contain elements of the characters and story was were i decided to begin when trying to create designs for  this collection of Jane Austen book covers, As it is a collection i felt the designs needed to relate to each other using the same approach within each title, After experimenting i decided to choose these as my final pieces, I chose colours which represented the main characters personalities and combined this with a design which i felt depicted the story while also keeping a female element,building the visuals out of circles which i felt was a way of representing female characteristics.

Chekhov

The brief given was to create visual pieces to reflect the contents of a short story by Anton Chekhov, After reading through a few of them i decided upon DREAMS, The illustrations which were produced are the result's of experimenting with details through the story which depicts the journey of a man being escorted out of town down a dirt cobbled path surround by mist, fog and wildlife, As i absolutely loved all the experimenting within this project i decided to take the brief a step further to create a collection of Book covers.

H G Wells

These book covers were designed based on the idea of keeping the books as a set each representing the same elements from the individual title. I wanted the final covers to be visually appealing and work together as a collection. I found generating bar graphs using the amount of pages in each chapter produced some strong graphics which enticed people to want to pick up the book as they found the visual aspect intriguing.
