Project Description

This set of book covers serves as a redesign of the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings. The covers convey differences in the story while connecting the three as part of a complete set. I wanted to create a unique, minimal design that included landmarks from each story in the form of a silhouette. The illustrations became part of the bookbinding tape that would wrap around the spine of a hardcover book. I worked in a style that blends contemporary minimal design aesthetics with the look of traditional binding techniques and transitional letterforms.
