Brief:
To design a series of book covers, which may work as a Collectable set.
Option 1: William Shakespeare Books
William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564
(baptism)–d. April 23, 1616) was an English
poet and playwright and is considered a key
member of the English literature canon.
Shakespeare's work includes 154 sonnets
and 38 plays; while his earlier plays were
comedies and histories, his later work
focused on tragedy (e.g. "Macbeth").
Shakespeare's reputation grew after his
death and especially in the 19th century
when he became the world's most
celebrated dramatist. Now his work is
reinterpreted and performed around the
world.
Titles:
Othello
Macbeth
Hamlet
Procedure:
Do a quick research on all three books and
read the synopsis to understand the main
idea and storyline of all three books.
Think of ways how you can express and
reinterpret the Cover design for these
books for contemporary audience. This is an
opportunity to explore and experiment with
the expressive nature of typography. You
can illustrate or photo manipulates the
supportive or dominating cover image or
can use type as image.
Think of some connection between these
three books so publisher can sell it as a
collectable set.
You can also propose packaging design for
this collectable set.
