Book Cover (remake project)

We were asked to choose a book and redo its cover. A pretty straight forward project that was pretty challenging.

Now normally collage wouldn't be my first pick of medium, but due to the books content I thought that this was the best solution to the problem.

The book is about getting rid of society and getting closer to the simple life of nature. It is a great book and you should definitely give it a read. The reason I choose this medium is because I wanted to take the lesson from the book and get as far away from the technology possible.  After numerous sketches, hours of cutting, countless glue mishaps, and a few photo shop sessions I had the cover done.

Overall this project taught me that good design comes in many forms. It doesn't always have to be clean, simple and neat. Sometimes it can be organic and messy.
