Book covers for Ozma of OZ, The Tin Man of OZ and The Emerald City of OZ by L. Frank Baum.
Traveling from one reality (Earth) to another (OZ) is the consistent theme throughout the OZ books.
To capture this sense of travel (and as an homage to the classic film) I utilized color to evoke two different realities: one in black and white and the other in rich color. Black vector based artwork was fused onto the Plexiglass cases while the actual wrapped around book cover symbolized the world of OZ with its vivid color and artwork.
