GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ
Gabriel García Márquez was an amazing man and one of the most beautiful writers of this past century. To commemorate his life and legacy, I redesigned book covers for three of his most memorable books. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Memories of my Melancholy Whores would make up this Special Edition Set. The paper art covers are meant to attract anyone who enjoys reading but specifically targeting a younger age group that typically would over-look Márquez’s literature, 18- 23. The style was also applied to bookmarks, web banners, and window displays. The color palette is based on descriptions found in his books; green leaves, brightly colored exotic flowers and other botanicals from his mythical cities. To help give the book an old classic Colombian feel, I chose typefaces with serifs.
