The challenge and overall objectives of this project were to design a cohesive book trilogy cover set, and map, based on an original story concept of “HUNT”. The target audience mirrors that of the hypothetical book: fans of high fantasy, dark fantasy, and horror, all ages who are drawn to intricate and visually striking designs.
The map was the first step in the creation of this project. Illustrating the map by hand, naming each point of interest, regions, and compass.
To stay true to the genre of fantasy the map was placed in the front of the book, where it may be referenced for the reader to stay updated with the ongoing story.
The focus of the overall book designs were the ornate patterns, how they were fused with a dark story line and distressed logo. Together, each of these design elements highlight the allure of the narrative and the elegance of its visual presentation.
