The Devil - Character Design & Cover Design
Collage, InDesign, CS 6
This Illustration project comprised two illustrations to be incorporated in a leaflet layout for the short novel "Never bet the devil your head" by Edgar Allan Poe. To obtain an accurate character profile, the task was to read the story and highlight the character's most prominent description and traits and illustrate them in my designs based on that reading. The colours I chose were based on the psychological meaning behind them (green for fear, red for danger and black for elegance and death).
The final cover design, with the original crude collage left on purpose to convey a shady atmosphere that feels real and authentic
