Jane Austen Box Set

Design Narrative

Design three book covers for Jane Austen’s three most popular novels for an exclusive box set. The novels include Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. The book cover art is designed for Random House Publishing, a potential employer that is in need for Illustrators to create enticing and eye catching book art designs.

Target Audience

The target audience are those who love to read, especially classic literature from the nineteenth century. This person enjoys a great read and is always on the look out for new editions and redesigns of their favorite piece of literature. The typical reader would be in their early twenties to their early forties.

Design Solution

Keeping a few elements and motifs from the Victorian era will evoke a sense of timeliness to the design. The use of pastel and earthy colors hints at a classical period of time. Hand drawn illustrations to show a moment from each novel gives readers a visual of what they have to look forward to while reading the book.
