Illustration • Embroidery
STUDENT PROJECT
The Penguin Classic cover concepts have been subject of numerous interpretations. A fresh approach was needed to allow this rendition to stand out. I was able to design and hand embroider three Classics titles, each unique from any previous cover adaptations.
Embroidery and hand lettering was used as a means of expression of the nostalgic nature of the titles but also allude to the continual relevance of these works. Small illustrative details give insight to the themes of each title and the raw linen background communicates a sense of timelessness and necessity.
