Redesigning the book cover for Lord of the Flies. I wanted the design to be simple yet effective. The glasses was an important symbol; a symbol for intellectual and ordered side of humanity, it was an object that started the fire. I felt that the theme of my book cover should be myseterious and frightening. The idea of illustrating the flies swarming around the broken glasses aims to show that the broken glasses are of no use and 'unclean'.

Ideas before creating the cover. I wanted to focus on the most important aspects of the story and so looked into the main symbols and themes shown in the book.
