The Great Book Cover Project
The Castle - The Metamorphosis - The Trial
Finally I had some time to start my life long dream: making covers for my favourite novels. The list was long, and it was hard to choose, but I found myself wandering back to the works of Franz Kafka. My goal was to capture the dark, nervous and surrealistic atmosphere of his novels while catching the spirit in one single image.
It was entirely made in Photoshop, and the letters are all handwritten.
