Famous Coupes Book Cover

Designer’s Statement

For my Famous Couples book cover I tried to highlight who both Devin Booker and Kendall Jenner are. Highlighting what most interprets them to a certain extent. With my final design I tried to achieve for the viewers to understand who they are with certain symbols to represent each of them.  Out of all the options I had come up with I believe this was my strongest because the diamond represents Kendall which signifies beauty and wealth at the same time. As for Devin he is a basketball player which I included it inside the diamond to tie them together. Throughout my designing process I wanted to execute a great icon that signifies both, with a lot of trial and error my overall design has the diamond and basketball on a stage, under a spotlight which is their actual life and what I was trying to highlight for the viewer to better understand.

Designer Brief: Penguin Books is launching a new series called ‘Famous Couples.’ Each book tells the story of a famous couple, such as Adam and Eve, Frida Kahlo/Diego Rivera, Freddie Mercury/Jim Hutton, Kermit & Miss Piggy, etc.
