BOOK COVER REDESIGN
BOOK COVER REDESIGN
Project Brief
The challenge for the design of the book cover was to create a seamless composite image using sources with multiple perspectives, lighting and colors following a fantastical or surrealist theme.
Design Rationale
The reoccurring storyline of duplicated realities inspired the design of the book cover. The repeated portrait, overlayed landscape, and suspended figure represent physical and psychological navigation through multiple realities. Circular shapes, symbols and the galaxy landscape further emphasize abstract concepts of reality, time and subconsciousness.
