"A Clockwork Orange" book cover

I chose the novel «A clockwork orange» written by Anthony Burguess. The plot treats about a thug band, lead by Alex Delarge. It treats about rape, violence, robbery... until their boss will be kidnapped and will be punished by his acts.
I chose this book for its anti-hero, and because the way the author represents his madness and his strange love for violence is very interesting.
I wanted to highlight the madness of the main character, but also to keep the elegance of Alex. Moreover, even if the book is appeared in the 60s,  I wanted to give it a modern, contemporary mood, by playing with the typography, something like experimental and new. I also keep the orange color to represent the title «A clockwork orange», as a visual identity and a strong color full of impact for those who look at it.
