A project for my Types, Images, Ideas module: to create a book jacket for Alice in Wonderland. We are given the right to alter the original story and make our own version of synopsis.
Design Rationale:
The title I came up with is “Reverie Partea.” Reverie stands for a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream; a synonym of fantasy. While Partea is a wordplay of tea and party, to emphasise the mysterious tea party which is the main scene of the whole story.
My two main points in the design are Alice’s costume on the tea cup and the tea cup itself. Alice’s costume is already well-known and familiar for the target audience - teenagers to young adults - and I want to make use of that familiarity. The tea cup represents the main scene, the mysterious tea party, the only scene in Wonderland that Alice is not familiar of. I then put Alice’s costume on the tea cup itself, combining the two main points and added some spilled tea. This is to deliver the message that everything in this story comes from Alice. The spilled tea is going upwards, as if it’s defying gravity, to show that all her experiences in Wonderland are out of this world.
