Book Cover Redesign

For this project, I was tasked to design a cover of a popular book and visually communicate the essence of the plot. Given the importance of the topic it discusses, I chose to design the cover of the book, It Ends With Us.

REDESIGNED BOOK COVER

CREATIVE DIRECTION

SPOILER ALERT! The book discusses the topic of domestic abuse. It follows the story of a young woman whose life’s dream was to open a flower shop. A central theme of the book was highlighting how something that appears so beautiful and perfect on the outside, could be breaking someone else on the inside.  Thus, I decided to create imagery using the metaphor of a flower breaking. I wanted to contrast the hardship of such a serious topic with the beauty of a flower. In addition, I also wanted the redesigned book cover to reflect the concept of layers being peeled back as the further one reads, the more they discover about the narrative they are initially introduced to.
