Stephen King Book Covers
Visual System Design
Objective
Stephen King is a well-known American author of horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, crime, science-fiction, and fantasy novels. I chose three of his books to redesign the cover in order to reflects the book's essence.
Approach
I chose three Stephen King's novels to redesign a series of book covers, including the front, spine, and back to represent a reissue from a publisher. Each novel's cover design is different enough from each other to give an individuality feeling to the books. They all have some grounding elements to tie them all together. Each front cover design reflects the book's essence, giving the reader a hint of the book.
“People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy… and I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
