Recovery

One of our assignments in my current design class was to redesign the covers for a set of three books by a single author. Kind of up my alley. Kind of. Sort of. Anyways. I took on Kazuo ishiguro. Here's my take on his first three novels; click through for the larger-ish versions.











These were terrific fun to do--a chance to really dig in to the idea of minimalist design and get a sense for just how it actually works. Thanks to my friend Ann for loaning the handwriting--mine wasn't up to the task. There's inside flaps, too, but I stole the author photo off the Web, and I'd hate to get sued for it.
