Objective: to re-evaluate and re-design the existing book cover and to better inform and attract more readers.
Strategy: I set out to design a cover that could better capture the essence of the story. I used elements of
propaganda posters in a contemporary style and also contrasted bright red against dark gray. As a result, I revealed both dark and thrilling aspects of the novel.
