Moby Dick Book Cover

Uni Brief
To choose a book from the given list and create a creative, related cover - Moby Dick
Solution
I took the opportunity here to be creative and draw the majority of the cover. I had the idea that the waves would be in the shape of a whale which can be seen when the book is opened across the wrap around spread.
 
Typography
For the type I then created an alphabet (hand-drawn) to use as the typeface featuring on the front of the cover and the spine. The style I went with and tried to portray with style and colour was vintage/sailor theme to relate to the book.
Illustration
I created the whale on a large scale so the cover would be detailed, giving me a variety of crops to try for the cover. 
Below is the original A2 drawing I did of the whale, drawn purely with a variety of pens
Wrap around
Below you can see the full wrap around cover, with folds to indicate where it wraps around the book.
