GIllian Flynn Book Covers

The mission for this project was to create a set of at least three book covers and jackets that are intended to work together and are treated in a visually cohesive manner. Thus the goal of designing a set or series. The selection of books I chose are from the same author. One’s that can be marketed and/or sold together as a unit. What is included are 3 reimagined book designs for Gone Girl, Sharp Objects, and Dark Places by the author Gillian Flynn.

The idea behind these book designs was to achieve a minimal look without giving too much away. Each cover has an item that is significant for the different series of books. For Gone Girl it is a knife, for Sharp Objects it is a tooth, and for Dark Places it is a gun. I wanted the reader to be intrigued by the cover for its simplistic design but also chaotic coloring. I was wanting to achieve an ironic design for the intense books that they are.
