Last year we were asked to produce book covers for classic novels. I have recently printed them off and constructed them so I thought I'd put them on here!
I chose to design some for a Jane Austen collection, I felt that in the past the covers for this particular classic were very generic and nothing out of the ordinary. I therefore decided to re-design them in an attempt to get a younger audience interested.
My designs all took the same format. They were made up of a small collage made up of vintage elements such as pieces of lace and old photographs. I then overlaid them with a small quote from the book to grab the readers interest. I therefore decided to put the title of the book on the back, it was not necessary on the front along with the quote. In order to make them seem luxurious I chose to use a white background with a piece of ribbon tied round.
Sense and Sensibility...
Pride and Prejudice...
Persuasion...
Emma...
