T4: Thesis Book

Overall Feeling and aesthetic of the piece is obscurity, overlaying and stability. While engaging with the piece it will be immersive, revealing but organized. While maintaining a level of playfulness. I want the piece to unfold and the story will become clearer as the reader engages. 

Key words:

Overlaying/ Layers

Obscurity/ Deconstruction 

Stability/ Grounded

First iterations.

So for my product I choose fruit cups. My plan is to redo the actual box and maybe add some vinyl cut details on the actual cup. I want to keep the aesthetic fresh, playful but not kid like. Aiming to combine multiple textures with the different qualities of the fruit.

Maze Runner

Book cover

For my first book I had the idea of redesigning the cover for "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner. This book is super cool and I think this is a good candidate because the cover now is horrible. This book is field with alot of interesting things that I can pull from. As for the cover I think I can add alot of mystery and roughness to it referencing the story. The story is about a group of kids that are stuck in a maze and they fight to survive while trying to escape the maze.

Some book covers:

For my Second book I had the idea of doing the "Lord of the flies" by William Golding. I really like this book and think there is a lot of imagery that can be pulled from this book. I like how raw and visual this book was. These kids fight for survival and its really interesting. I think I can add some of that rawness aesthetic to the book cover. I was also thinking about a graphic and bold aesthetic to contrast the raw and roughness.
Current cover:


Some of the book covers out already.

Mood Boards for both books. Both books have a lot in common.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rou ler (Let the Good times Toll)
If it aint green, it aint clean

Method:

My plan is to merge different styles together to create a new feel. Using different paper textures, rendering and layering techniques. I want to keep the quote short. So I can add extra imagery to help the theme pop.
